The First Ten Years: Two Sides of the Same Love Story by Joseph Fink, Meg Bashwiner
5.0
As an avid listener of Welcome to Night Vale and consumer of Night Vale Presents media, I knew I had to pick up this book. This may seem like a take on a romance between two aspiring artists, but reading this brought me back to time as an undergrad, listening to early episodes of Welcome to Night Vale and wondering how such an interesting team created a fantastic and surrealist world with the best LGBT representation I have ever seen in media.
Reading through the ten years of their intertwined lives, you can tell Joseph is a writer. The way he highlights symbolism in everyday tasks and how he thinks about life tells a lot about his part of the Night Vale writing team. Megan, on the other hand, is more alive in her recollections with how she approached their relationship and the work building up Night Vale Presents to the online and touring world. She speaks with bluntness and shares her personal take on events more than I remember Joseph doing. Overall, I was so happy to get a chance to read their story and I know they will succeed in the quality of any artistic endeavor moving forward.
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
