The Intimacy Of Friendship - Lissa Soep & Other People's Words

  • Resumen

  • Have you ever heard someone’s voice in your head and suddenly you're transported to a time and place when you were with them? This phenomenon is what Lissa Soep explores in Other People’s Words: Friendship, Loss, and the Conversations That Never End, her book about the intimacy of friendship and how words and language keep people with us, even after they die. After the deaths of her friends, Jonnie and Christine, Lissa found comfort in this idea of them living on through their words.

    We discuss:

    • Lissa's friendships with Jonnie & Christine
    • Grieving a sudden death vs one from a long-term illness
    • The unique nature of friendships formed in our 20's
    • How Jonnie & Christine's come back to Lissa through their words
    • The Russian critic Mikhail Bahktain's concept of double voicing
    • What Lissa's learned about how to support others who are grieving

    Lissa Soep is a senior editor for audio at Vox Media and special projects producer and senior scholar-in-residence at YR Media. She has a PhD from Stanford, where she first started writing about Bakhtin.
