  <title>Episode 330 — Meghan Daum</title>
  <description>Meghan Daum is the guest. Her new essay collection, The Unspeakable: And Other Subjects of Discussion, is available now from Farrar, Straus, &amp;amp;amp; Giroux.&amp;amp;nbsp;&#13;
Hilton Als says&#13;
&amp;amp;ldquo;I think it&amp;amp;rsquo;s fair to say that I can&amp;amp;rsquo;t tell you what Meghan Daum&amp;amp;rsquo;s remarkable book means to me&amp;amp;mdash;the exceptional often denies verbalization. Her diverse subject matter aside&amp;amp;mdash;Mom, Joni Mitchell, the fetishization of food&amp;amp;mdash;it&amp;amp;rsquo;s Daum&amp;amp;rsquo;s galvanizing energy that one finds so attractive; nowhere in her work is there evidence of the &amp;amp;lsquo;trance&amp;amp;rsquo; that Virginia Woolf said characterized so many women&amp;amp;rsquo;s lives. Instead, Daum builds her various worlds out of great presence and imagination, and who wouldn&amp;amp;rsquo;t want to live in her new city?&amp;amp;rdquo;&#13;
And Geoff Dyer says&#13;
&amp;amp;ldquo;The Unspeakable is a fantastic collection of essays: funny, clever, and moving (often at the same time), never more universal than in its most personal moments (in other words, throughout), and written with enviable subtlety, precision, and spring.&amp;amp;rdquo;&#13;
Monologue topics:&amp;amp;nbsp; mail, dead animals, sleep, naps.</description>
