What a treat to welcome back Mary Pilon and Louisa Thomas to the podcast.
Both are brilliant writers and reporters, bestselling authors, Best American Sports Writing alums, you name it. They’re here to talk about the book they co-edited called Losers: Dispatches from the Other Side of the Scoreboard (Penguin).
The conversation starts out with Mary and me and then Louisa jumps in about halfway through.
So many great insights in what it means and what it reveals to be a loser. Mary and Louisa say they are “seasoned losers,” so we dive into that a bit.
Mary is the author of The Monopolists and The Kevin Show.
Louisa is the author of Conscience, Louisa: The Extraordinary Life of Mrs. Adams, and Mind and Matter.
Let me know what you think about this episode and what struck you about their brilliant insights into writing and losing. Keep the conversation going on social media @CNFPod, though I’m detoxing until I finish my book, so if I don’t give you digital fist bumps or a James Hetfield gif, that’s why.
