Meeting Andrea Lambert in her Echo Park abode which overlooks the famed park itself from a great height, Jacquelyn Davis recorded their conversation with the intent to share Lambert’s literary influences and individual writing perspective, as well as to better investigate the construction of her first novel Jet Set Desolate. Two excerpts from her debut are provided. This talk was originally recorded on January 26, 2011.
