In her new novel, This Beautiful Life (Harper), author and journalist Helen Schulman—whose fiction and non-fiction have appeared in Vanity Fair, Vogue, and The Paris Review, among other publications—examines one family’s fictional, yet increasingly familiar, digital–age drama that all begins with one click of the mouse. The Bergamonts, a household of four who relocate from low-key Ithaca to Manhattan’s Upper West Side, face a fallout after an unchaperoned private-school party for their 15–year old son, a sexually explicit video sent to him by an 8th-grade admirer, and an impulsive email to his friends set off an immediate and viral reaction. Below, Schulman depicts their domestic routine: pre-party, pre-provocation. Listen to the podcast after the jump.
