Natasha Stagg

Natasha Stagg is a New York City-based writer that I’d been aware of for years, but regretfully wasn’t super familiar with until her publicist offered me an early copy of Artless. I was blown away by the (seemingly effortless) way she distills these big themes around the modern media landscape, pop culture, NYC, and identity, into such a sharp & funny collection of essays/stories. If that sounds like your speed you should pre-order a copy (it drops in late October) and maybe check out some of her other acclaimed work, such as Sleeveless and/or Surveys, in the meantime. She’s doing an official book launch hosted by Miranda July at McNally Jackson on 10/25, and introducing some movie picks + doing a signing at Metrograph on 10/27. Don’t forget to subscribe to her Substack (Selling Out) while you’re at it. Lucky for us, Natasha is here to tell us what she’s been into.
