My friend and former NYU classmate Spencer Gaffney helps me break down May's best seller, Sally Rooney's literary sensation Normal People, about the relationship between odd but fascinating Marianne and rich, popular Connell as it grows from high school romance to university tryst. Hailed as "The Millennial Writer," Sally Rooney has seen a rapid rise to fame, sometimes to her dismay. Spencer and I discuss the Irish Economy, what it means to be the author who defines a generation, and what the words "grinds," "binned," and "rounders" mean. Is Normal People worth the hype, the fame, the countless famous recommendations? Is Sally Rooney "Salinger for the Snapchat generation"? Does my west Irish accent carry too many notes of Dublin?
