Don’t Go Down the Clown Rabbit Hole with Susan Orlean

Sleeping with Celebrities

Susan Orlean is one of the coolest and best writers we have going in the whole world. This is simply a fact. Why, she wrote The Orchid Thief and The Library Book and Rin Tin Tin: The Life and the Legend. Meryl Streep played Susan, or a version of Susan, in the movie Adaptation, which is certainly not a thing that happens to most of us. With all her credits, you might think Susan Orlean would have someone to organize her life FOR her. Not so. She is, herself, a passionate organizer and she can - and does here - talk about it for great long stretches. Listen in (and drift off) as she advises against falling down the infamous clown toy rabbit hole. Don’t worry, you’ll only fall down the go-to-sleep sleepy hole.

Hey Sleepy Heads, is there anyone whose voice you’d like to drift off to, or do you have suggestions on things we could do to aid your slumber?
