Christina Sweeney-Baird - THE END OF MEN

Christina and I discuss her debut novel The End of Men, publishing a book about a pandemic during the current pandemic, how the pandemic in the book is reverse engineered for her purposes, writing speculative fiction, what happens when there is a huge gender imbalance, and much more.
Christina’s recommended reads are:

The Push by Ashley Audrain

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab

Severance by Ling Ma
