Jennette McCurdy, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of I’m Glad My Mom Died, returns with her debut novel, Half His Age. The book is a sharp, funny, and unsettling exploration of desire, power, loneliness, consumerism, and intimacy in the age of the internet. In this live conversation, McCurdy reflects on the ideas behind the novel and the questions it raises about what we want, why we want it, and the stories we tell ourselves along the way.
why rooh recommends attending
We’re interested in Jennette McCurdy’s work because she has a rare ability to name uncomfortable truths without flinching or softening them. Her writing feels direct, self-aware, and deeply observant of the ways power and desire show up in everyday life. After the impact of I’m Glad My Mom Died, we’re curious to hear how she brings that same sharp attention to fiction.
