In this week’s episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet, authors Kathy Chiu and Rebecca Pebble discuss their new novel, Endowed. The story involves four women who meet in an improv troupe and become friends. The characters are all from very different backgrounds, but they find the common bond of friendship as they help each other navigate life, loss and love. Both Kathy and Rebecca are improv troupe veterans. When they found out that each of them dreams of writing a novel and had separately come up with story ideas about friends in an improv troupe, they knew they had to write the book together. As they wrote, they used improv concepts such as “yes and,” and Endowed is written in a “cut to” format, much like a comedy improv performance. In this episode, Kathy and Rebecca discuss their writing journey, the special meaning behind the book’s title, and how writing a book about four friends strengthened the authors’ own friendship.
