Patricia Lockwood (No One Is Talking About This) and Lauren Oyler (Fake Accounts) talk with Guernica’s Mickie Meinhardt about their latest books, writing the online life into novel form, and all the trappings of being labeled an “Internet writer.”

At Guernica, we’ve spent the last 15 years producing uncompromising journalism.

More than 80% of our finances come from readers like you. And we’re constantly working to produce a magazine that deserves you—a magazine that is a platform for ideas fostering justice, equality, and civic action.

If you value Guernica’s role in this era of obfuscation, please donate.
