Facing writer’s block and a floundering literary career, Mallory makes a desperate decision to stay relevant: go gay, go sad and go dark. Those are the ingredients for a bestseller, after all. All she needs now is a story...
Told through alternating perspectives, Josh Silver’s Fruit Fly raises urgent questions about authenticity, identity and the commodification of someone else’s experiences. He joins host Michael Sun to discuss his debut adult novel.
