Ask Ronna

263 - Queen of the Literary Scene with Susan Orlean

15 Jul 2025

Description

Now wait a minute. (Bryan) has a sudden work obligation and can only stay for the introduction (such is the life of a Hollywood A-Lister), but boy is he missing out. We suppose it's only fair, though, since Ronna missed out the first time this absolute literary legend was previously in The Carriage House. Joining us this week is the Queen herself, Susan Orlean! Of course you know Susan as the best-selling author of THE ORCHID THIEF, which was adapted into the Academy Award winning film ADAPTATION with Meryl Streep. She's also the author of THE LIBRARY BOOK as well as a staff writer for THE NEW YORKER. Her new book, JOYRIDE, comes out in October! You can also find her Substack at susanorlean.substack.com Susan and Ronna tackle one question this week, but it's a Dooze McBooze involving someone coming into a large inheritance debating how, or even whether, to help their less well-off siblings.  (Bryan)'s Edinburgh show, ARE YOU MAD AT ME, is coming up at the end of the month and plays the Edinburgh Fringe for most of August. Are you going to be anywhere near Scotland in August? Go see (Bryan)! Tickets at bryansafi.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
