From the Archive – The Guest: Emma Cline On Outsiders, Delusion & Desire

Listen to this episode from Service95 Book Club With Dua Lipa on Spotify. Welcome to the Service95 Book Club with Dua Lipa, a podcast dedicated to the books that stay with us – and the brilliant minds behind them.As well as bringing you a brand-new episode every month, we’ll also be dipping into the archive of fascinating conversations Dua has had with authors over the past two years. In this archive episode, Dua sits down with New York Times-bestselling author Emma Cline to talk about her haunting novel The Guest – a story of a young woman adrift in the Hamptons over one long summer, where tension shimmers below the surface. Emma and Dua explore the art of writing characters you never fully trust, how social class and privilege shape invisible boundaries, why delusion can be its own kind of survival strategy, and the ambiguous ending that has left readers everywhere debating Alex’s fate.
