The Literati

In "Like Bookish People," 26-year-old Clemi lands her dream job at a literary nonprofit, only to be thrust into chaos when the executive director disappears, leaving her to navigate financial and legal troubles. With an overdrawn bank account, inquisitive FBI agents, and a demanding fundraising gala looming, she balances her aspirations against the stark reality of her turbulent personal life. As she interacts with her favorite author and other literary figures, Clemi begins to question whether some writers shine brighter in books than in real life. This charmingly witty tale explores the intersection of literature and life's uncertainties with a comedic touch.
