Ayşegül is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met, and her new novel is just as charming. It was a gift to speak with her for Electric Literature 💛

In “Good Girl,” @AriaAber reminds us how art can be a lifeline and connection in dark times of strife and chaos. This novel is astounding and so needed right now. Thank you Electric Literature and thank you Aria for speaking about it with me 💗 electricliterature.com/aria-aber-on-f…
