Writer Joshua Mohr joins us to talk shop about his recent book Farsickness. The idea began with watching his daughter and her friends create short dramatic productions for his neighborhood, during COVID. He talks about the virtues of supposedly “hapless” protagonists, collaborating with his daughter, and how COVID should have taught us to pursue the art we crave the most. 

Joshua Mohr is a writer and founder of Decant Editorial. He is the author of the memoirs “Model Citizen” (2021) and "Sirens", as well as five novels including "Damascus", which The New York Times called "Beat-poet cool."Remember to review and rate Upper Middlebrow, and please fill out our listener survey, so we know how to make the show better!
