Sean Hewitt: Heartbreak, Hidden Desires & The Stories We Tell Ourselves #17

In this episode of Enough About Me, Lewis sits down with award-winning poet and novelist Sean Hewitt to discuss his latest book, Open Heaven. The conversation explores the bittersweet reality of teenage queer infatuation, the torturous hope of loving someone who might be straight, and how heartbreak is ultimately the collapse of the stories we write in our own heads. Moving beyond literature, the two delve into their shared antagonism toward school authority, the surreal world of internet "looksmaxing," a mutual hatred for soulless modern architecture, and why we desperately need to return to valuing civic spaces and manual craftsmanship.--Please like, subscribe, comment, leave a review, and help us out with the algorithm!
