Publisher's Summary
Lily Meyersohn’s Exit Interview with My Grandmother is a rumination on young adulthood, through the prism of her relationship with her 92-year-old grandmother.
At once profoundly personal and far-reaching, Exit Interview with My Grandmother serves as a meditation on the beginning of a young woman’s life and the series of questions that arise from examining love, loss, family, memory, and death. Moving between cities and centuries, Meyersohn probes her family's Jewish history and her grandparents' relationships in part to decipher her own young queer relationships, but also to examine how we ought to behave in the face of a world riddled with uncertainty and doubt.
Comprising a personal narrative and an intimate, recorded conversation with her grandmother, Meyersohn’s essay confronts what it means for something to begin, what it means for something to end, and what we should hold onto along the way.

Lovely
A very nicely composed piece. I like the way the author wove together her conversations with her grandmother, observations on generations, and self-reflections on her own life: it was a unique approach. The very BEST part was the audio recordings of her grandmother reflecting on life, aging and her love of books. Worth listening for those alone.

Where is the exit interview?
While I did enjoy parts of this story I was confused by it. I loved the grandmother and thought this was an exit interview. It was not the focus of the book. I wished that it was because she had so many wonderful things to share. If this was not set up as the focus of the book by the title I would have definitely enjoyed it much more because the authors story was really interesting.

Ok listen
This listen was ok. I enjoyed the parts that the author speaks with their Grandmother and the stories she shares. I was expecting more of an interview focused on the Grandmother, when in actual the focus was on the author's journey.

Vacuous Confused
This is how you take a situation ripe with possibility, give it a great title, and fail to make anything meaningful out of it. What a waste!
