Hello, I'm Alyssa Nadwarney, and you're listening to NPR's Book of the Day.
For Alyssa Schilaski's weekly column in New York magazine, she asks people to anonymously record a week in their sex lives.
There are stories about married people and divorced people, people having no sex, people having lots of sex.
The range is pretty incredible, and the situation's enlightening.
The column is called Sex Diaries, and Shilaski has put a collection of the stories that explore non monogamy into a new book also called Sex Diaries Real Life Stories of Nonmonogamy and Polyamory.
She spoke with weekend edition host Juana Summers about the book and about her own sex life.
Hi, I'm Melissa Nadwarney, and this is NPR's Book of the Day.
And then just started to eavesdrop.
I actually do this a lot.
I make up backstories, fill in the gaps of conversation with my imagination.
In the novel I made you up inside my head.
The story starts out this way.
On a train in Europe, the main character, a translator, gets captivated listening in on the stories of her seatmates.
As the book goes on, the characters slide into each other's stories, blending fact and fiction.
It's the first novel from author Marta Perez Carbonell, who spoke with Weekend Edition's Scott Simon.
Today we have a book that has a little bit of everything: Teenage Crushes, COVID, an aspirational murderer, even a Brad Pitt impersonator.
All of this and more is in bestselling author Sigred Nunez's new collection of short stories called It Will Come Back to You.
Nunes spoke with Tiziana Deering for here and now.
