About the author
Talia Argondezzi has written for McSweeney’s, The New Yorker, The Belladonna, Points in Case, Slackjaw, and many other places, because she is a middle child and it’s the only way she could think of to get her parents’ attention. She teaches at Ursinus College. Her friend’s baby is cropped out of this picture. She’ll get around to having a real author photo taken soon.
