Part-Time Fanboy Podcast: Ep 521 Jeremy Whitley Creates a Thoughtful Romance In Navigating With You!

Part-Time Fanboy Podcast

Jeremy Whitley has been on the podcast several times. With books like Princeless, School For Extraterrestrial Girls, and The Dog Knight Whitley has proven himself as a writer with an ability to tap into the core of characters who have not always been represented in pop culture fiction. In his latest book, Navigating With You, Jeremy tells what Kristian considers to be his best story yet and is his favorite comic of the year so far. In NWY, two girls start at a new school and find themselves drawn to one another by their affection for a manga they both read when they were younger but is now out of print. As they search for the hard to find volumes of the comic they discover a friendship that blossoms into a romance that helps them break through barriers that both society and they themselves have set up to hold them back. Navigating With You is a charming tale filled with the meditative sweetness of Miyazaki films like My Neighbor Totoro and Kiki’s Delivery Service. On this episode of the Part-Time Fanboy podcast Kristian chats with Jeremy about the inspiration behind his latest book and gushes over just how much it moved him.
