The delightful Emma Straub, best-selling author of All Adults Here, The Vacationers, Modern Lovers and Laura Lamont’s Life in Pictures, has written a hilarious column for Lithub called Emma Straub’s Advice for What to Wear to a Book Launch: “Back to basics. Just hot dogs, babka, and gratitude for vaccines.”..
