Sloane Crosley, will you be my wife, please?

“….you and I are in this weird in-between land of hyper-colored shirts and Kudos bars. Do you remember Type 1 versus Type 2 tapes? Those are ours. But a detail like that is so fucking subtle. And I think that’s why nostalgia is such a powerful thing for us. We had so much change so quickly. It was so hard to hold onto a movement or a trend.”

In regards to your question about the very small school you went to for college having the “list you could check to see who else was online at six in the morning”, yes, Conn College still does have that!

I’ve tried to pull a Jonathan Franzen now, like, eight times and I can’t do it. Dear Jonathan, how do you do it? HOW? But anyway, meanwhile we mere mortals can keep on keeping on Googling ourselves to death. Not a bad idea, especially considering the lost art of the douche has been sublimated in this age of the douchebag. I’m glad Sloane Crosley is bringing it back! One small step for humankind…

Love,
Another David

Yes!! This is a great interview, especially the generational stuff. Thank you. Type 1 tapes….forgot about those but clearly Sloane did not. Looking forward to reading her latest.

Sincerely,

A Jonathan, not a David
