Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

I'm like, you know, where does the emphasis on the iambic pentameter and all sort of thing? So,

yeah, heroically, Gabrielle Zevin titled her book Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, which gave me permission to do the commas of the triple repetition.

So that was part of the inspiration.

Fair enough.

To be able to produce something like this is mesmerizing.

I agree about Tomorrow Tomorrow and Tomorrow being a bit of a sister book.

I might also throw in there Maybe some of David Mitchell's books.

They're a little bit more abstract, a little bit, but like Cloud Atlas, for example, or things like that kind of come to mind for me.

Well, what I will say,

just listening to you talk about that, I'm not a gamer in the same way that you are, but I had my eyes open to the art form of games in the way that you've just described by the book Tomorrow, Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabriel Zevin.

And for those of you who are gamers and who are also readers, that is the perfect crossover combination for you.

I highly recommend it.

But yeah, those are just a few.

Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin is one I would always recommend.

Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi is one I would always recommend.

I've

Oh my goodness.

So it's top of mind for me because I just got my husband to read this book, but Gabrielle Zevin's Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow.

I

think about that book And those characters like a lot.

So one I want to start with is called The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry, and it's actually by the incredible Gabrielle Zevin, who wrote a book that you may well know about.

It's called Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow.

Um, this was one of her previous books, and it is apparently a film, which I haven't seen, on, I think it's on Amazon Prime or something.

So this is a story about A.J. Fikry, who is basically a grumpy bookseller.

I can't remember what, what it's about, but I just, I remember the title.

Uh, titles that stick in your mind, like I love Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow.

I know it's not an original title, but I love the book so much and, and I love the title, and I love looking at it on the shelf.

You know, there's just-

Um, so Bec has asked, "What type of books do you like to read? What's your number one book, brackets, not one of yours, [laughs] that you recommend to people?" What a difficult question.

[laughs]

Yeah, I was gonna say, I, some, o- of recent years, Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow is one that I recommend probably more than any other.

Um, my dad is a massive reader, and we're, like, in a book club of two-

Um, it received rave reviews in Library Journal and I think received a pretty good review in Kirkus as well.

And they also, the Library Journal review- uh, reviewer also compared it to Gabrielle Zevin, if you liked, uh, Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, and I think that friendship element that is so prevalent in Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow.

I'm even thinking about the friendship in All the Colors in the Dark- All the Colors of the Dark.

So if you liked those kinds of books, I think you will like Voyagers by Meg Charlton.

The interconnective narratives talk about the importance of storytelling.

I like that element.

That reminds me, because we just talked about Gabriel's Evan, it reminds me, you know, Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow isn't about video games.

It's really about friendship and creativity and ownership, and I...

Mm.

You are becoming the queen of book to screen adaptations, and we're really excited to see you in Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow.

How does starring as the lead in adaptation change your relationship to the source material?

Hmm.
