He describes one of his stories “Marnie,” and talks about how it is about a girl he knew who died in a ski accident. Weissman discusses his awkward adolescent shyness and how it helped him to evolve into a creative thinker. Martinson asks him to read a passage from the book about dating and matchmaking for his friends.
