It's unbelievable to me that this channel only has 27K subscribers. What a warm, thoughtful exchange between two luminaries from different artistic fields. Well done.

This was about as good as an interview can get. Both parties interested in each other. Well done you two.

[ElricZ]

Dua is so sweet, thoughtful and intelligent! I love these interviews because it really highlights how bright and smart she is ❤

"Grief is just love with no place to go." Thank you, Dua!

Wow. I gotta thank the Algorithm for this one. The expression of Dua Lip's face throughout this exchange should be all the inspiration any novice writer needs to work like hell to do good work. Simply dreamy, people. Many thanks.

Dua is a special human being, not only is she outrageously beatuful, she is also incredibly intelligent and just an overall pleasant person

[GinSoakedBoy]

The algorithm really worked for once. What a wonderful conversation. Big thanks to both.

[simiancinema]

Love them both. It is wonderful to see two so different people connect.

[philharrison]

This is great. I love how interested these two ostensibly different people are in each other's worlds.

This is one of the best author interviews I have ever seen. There is a genuine chemistry between the two which allows George to be open and vulnerable in a way that feels very generous to the audience. Dua creates this atmosphere through a genuine feeling of admiration and appreciation for the subject. You can tell that she is a real fan of the author and his work. She knows the material and asks very insightful questions. George really seems to have a very generous spirit and an interest in Dua as an artist herself. This was such an enjoyable interview on many levels. Partly it was the conversation about the book but just as enjoyable was watching how they really seemed to enjoy each other as intelligent and interesting people. Cheers to you both!! 👏📚

Thank you dua lipa for another beautiful episode, thanks to George Saunders for his work it was interesting ( i like the part when you both started reading nice idea + i like how you always bring back your interviewee to talk about characters, nice host skills ) oh and what a question he gave at the end "not a baby question" at ALL. He was this close to ask for a tutorial on "how to make a song" 😂😂. In conversation indeed.

Two lovely, deep souls - Saunders & Lipa - talking story notes, a music of narrative, how life is not about the art, it is the art. If they go on tour together, I'm buying a ticket:)

[kubapotrykus]

No way! I read 2 of Saunders' stories (CivirWarLand and Semplica Girls) for a University course and enjoyed them immensely and never would I have guessed I would be able to watch him in an interview with Dua, like what

What a great conversation! I read Lincoln in the Bardo earlier this year and it was such a unique and memorable experience.

Dua Lipa was an excellent host here. I didn't know she's a book enthusiast. Subscribed and can't wait to watch more 😊

[erikamigone]

I know she is a very intelligent girl and still amaze me everytime I hear her in this interviews....I think the idea to read a passage of the book was great....she really enjoy doing this....❤❤

THANK YOU!! GREAT COVERSATION :) LOVE IT!

[AidanHufton]

Resonance of desire of wishes and promise

[gregbailey]

I love that Dua doesn't see the need to make herself up for these interviews.
She looks SO BEAUTIFUL au naturel!

[billyalarie]

Oh my GOD what an absolutely amazing crossover. Also, I don’t usually find readings compelling but this was.. magical..

It honestly reminded me of certain moments in Disco Elysium

[eliasE]

Oh shit I had no idea Dua Lipa is such an awesome book nerd 🙂 Great interview.
