16. "How To Stay Married" with Harrison Scott Key

When Harrison Scott Key discovered his wife was cheating on him, he wasn’t about to break his wedding vows. He was going to save his marriage, and that quest involved taking a good hard look at how he’d failed his wife too. The result? A happily ever after — well, sort of — and the memoir How to Stay Married: The Most Insane Love Story Ever Told. Harrison joins Nora to talk about the extremely wild ride called marriage and why he decided to let his wife write the (second to) last chapter in their not-quite divorce story. Wanna read the book?

Om Podcasten

The Terrible Reading Club is a podcast about great books for truly terrible times. Host Nora McInerny knows a thing or two about this kind of literature, because she's written several books herself about tough subjects like grief and loss and mental health (and moving forward in the face of it all). Each episode centers a book that deals with Hard Stuff and features an interview with the author about their work. And the best part about this reading club? You don't need to read the book ahead of time! For book discussion guides and a community of Terrible bookworms just like you, join The Terrible Reading Club on Substack!
