Erin Somers stays up with the Damn Library to talk her new novel, Stay Up With Hugo Best. Everyone gets into phantasmagoric Late Night universe making, and then into how there’s meaning in melancholy, and sometimes it’s better to buckle down even when things aren’t going right. And then they talk Dorothy Baker’s Cassandra at the Wedding, and the melodrama, and the pianos, and the slapstick without slapstick comedy of it all. The best day of their lives!
