Since her debut book, I Was Told There’d Be Cake (2008), Sloane Crosley has released three essay collections and two novels. (Not to mention her mountain of magazine articles.) Now comes a memoir. In Grief Is for People, which publishes on February 27, Crosley reflects on a year of immense loss. Five years ago, her apartment was robbed, and her family heirlooms vanished. Shortly after, her former boss and close friend, Russell Perreault, a veteran book publicist, died by suicide. Despite the grim subject, Crosley maintains her wit. Ahead of her book tour, she answers our questionnaire about what she packs, eats, and buys while traveling.
