Francesca Delbanco discusses her novel, “Ask Me Anything.” She begins by explaining that her book is about a young girl who moves to New York City and writes a teen advice column. Her character gives bad romance advice because her relationships don’t work. Delbanco discusses what it was like to live in New York City in her 20s and talks about how she wanted to document what life was like. Martinson asks her to read a passage about a monologue one of her characters has to perform. She discusses studying history at Harvard and says that she is writing another book. She ends the interview by talking about how her father is a writer and her mother is an editor, so it wasn’t difficult to get the book published.
