About this episode
<p><a href="https://www.newyorker.com/contributors/patricia-marx">Patricia Marx</a> is a longtime staff writer for <em>The New Yorker,</em> and <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/contributors/roz-chast">Roz Chast</a> is a celebrated cartoonist. Chast’s book “Can’t We Please Talk About Something More Pleasant,” about dealing with her aging parents, was a best-seller in 2014, winning awards that don’t usually go to books of cartoons. But something you don’t know about Chast and Marx is that they played in a band. As the Daily Pukeleles, they claim, they influenced some of the biggest names in music in the sixties and beyond. But they were always a little too far ahead of the curve for the mainstream. For the first time ever, Patricia Marx and Roz Chast tell their story. Plus, the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Jennifer Egan talks with David Remnick about cops and mobsters, and the torture of writing a novel. </p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
