The time has come,’ the Walrus said, To talk of many things: Of love—and death—and scheming pacts. Of marriages—and flings—and why the stories never end—And what the next day brings.’ Here she is, our cover reveal for LOVE IN THE AFTERNOON, AND EVENING, which officially lands on May 12. And here I am, soliciting pre-orders. Nearly four years ago, @mayukh.sen and I started working on this project without knowing it was a project, or that our hypothetical conversations about a book on soap operas would actually become a book on soap operas. Finding out that he loves soaps as much as I do, and being able to take that and do something creative with it together has been a gift. I will miss doing the work, but I’m so excited for you all to see what we produced. If you’re a soap fan too, we hope we’ve honored the genre in a way that makes you proud. If you’re new to soaps, we hope to convert you—or, at least, to entertain you. MAJOR PROPS and THANKS to @evangaffney for our cover, which is objectively amazing. (Also, major props and thanks to @thedonnamills for being herself and giving the world the unforgettable Abby Cunningham Fairgate Ewing Sumner.) Please buy our book. https://wwnorton.com/books/9781324075561 📸 by @melaniedunea ❤️🙏🏻 17 Feb 2026

Today, we (Charlotte and Mia) launch The Sweethearts, a newsletter in service of the sweet tooths among us and those who feed them. It’s a love song for businesses that sustain NYC and that we, as loyal New Yorkers who love baked goods and the like sustain as well. We’ll tell you the stories of the most talented people behind some of the city’s most adeptly made, creative, innovative and/or simply delicious treats—many of whom you might not know about already, and some you might. Charlotte will share some of her “experimental baking” adventures—working RECIPES included, and cookbook reviews. Mia’s got her eye on some of the superlative spots and bakers in the surrounding areas beyond the five boroughs, and we’re both here to share great finds, with a few surprises thrown in. We think of it as an ongoing conversation with simpatico souls, whether they’re responsible for consuming or making the sweet (and sometimes savory) stuff. Non-New Yorkers will find lots to enjoy here, but we don’t want to be guilty of false advertising; our bias leans towards our city. In that spirit, our first post will publish this afternoon, and it’s all about one of the bakeries we’ve both eagerly been waiting for and the pastry chef who’s opening its doors this weekend. Please subscribe and tell your people, or if, for whatever reason, this isn’t your jam, share it with friends whose jam it is. Thank you for your consideration and support. With shortbread, bánh bò nướng & love... and a LINK IN BIO, CD & MW P.S. We’re still figuring out how to navigate Substack, so please be patient while we find our bearings. There may be some glitches. (RECIPES is in all-caps because people seem to want those—supply, demand, etc.) 13 Jun 2024

Did you know I started watching soap operas from the tender age of 4 months old? It’s true. I was raised on a steady diet of them; I absorbed them through osmosis and the characters and storylines became part of my life, and embedded themselves in my brain. So much of my own interest in and knack for making up stories and putting on plays and my very rich, vivid inner world of imagination was shaped by those soaps. To this day, I remember more of them than I realize. They sneak up on me, in random moments. And I still love them. I have a special love for the prime-time glories and started re-watching them during the pandemic. Know what else happened during the pandemic? My terrifyingly talented friend, the writer @mayukh.sen and I got to talking about soap operas, and we figured out we both had this very special relationship with and affinity for them. We come to them differently, and are of two different generations and points of view. But what we share is a great respect for them—for the people who have worked on them, behind the scenes, and OF COURSE, the PERFORMANCES. Anyone who dismisses them, or people who watch them for being shallow or uneducated or silly has another thing coming to them. And that thing, I’d like to think, is this book. It’s a passion project. I’ve never had so much fun working on a proposal in my life, and I can’t wait for all the fun we’re going to have together writing it. I hope you love it. “Love in the Afternoon, and Evening” coming in MAY, 2026, to bookstores near you. Cc: @w.w.norton (our publisher), melanietortoroli (our editor! so psyched!), William Callahan (our supportive and good sport of an agent who got it immediately) and my partner-in-crime and -cliffhangers, Mayukh! ❤️ #VintageSoaps #pastsoaps #soapoperas #abcdaytime #nbcdaytime #soapopera #cbsdaytime #drama #AllMyChildren #GeneralHospital #KnotsLanding #Dallas #FalconCrest #SantaBarbara #Dynasty #AsTheWorldTurns #TheYoungandTheRestless #DaysofOurLives #OneLifetoLive #AnotherWorld #RyansHope #Loving #Passions #soapoperas #daytimetv #primetimetv #primetimesoaps #daytimesoaps #soapnews #yr #TheBoldAndTheBeautiful 07 Nov 2022

Cookbook writing can be a drama-filled soap opera, especially when strong-willed, opinionated people have to make the book together. We wanted the inside scoop on @andreanguyen88’s first cookbook collaboration project, COOKING THAI, co-authored with Michelin-starred chef @chezpim. But we love Andrea. How could we get the story without being too biased? For the first time ever, we turned hosting reins over to @chardrucks, a soap opera expert and co-author of LOVE IN THE AFTERNOON, AND EVENING. Charlotte went down the rabbit hole with Andrea and Pim to unpack the challenges and thrills of making their “instant classic” cookbook. They get into the dynamics of their collaboration, from recipe testing to managing egos, and what they learned from each other along the way. There’s lots to glean here, folks. Give Episode 184 a listen wherever get your podcasts. And subscribe to not miss future episodes, or to catch up on past ones!

"Love in the Afternoon, and Evening: Essay and Conversations on Soap Operas" is a love-letter to an often misunderstood genre. Brandon, Mayukh and Charlotte discuss how soaps helped to establish the current trend of serialized storytelling along with its classic film origins. "Love in the Afternoon and Evening : Essay and Conversations on Soap Operas" is available from W.W. Norton & Company wherever books are sold. Charlotte Druckman is an award-winning writer, author of Skirt Steak, and creator of the collection Women on Food. Her work has appeared in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and New York Magazine, among others. She lives in New York, where she was born and raised.

yes. 09 Sep 2026

interpol is back and so, miraculously, are your Sweethearts. it’s got everything we told you and so much more. unfiltered. with possibly surprising takes. but slightly servicey too. 08 Sep 2026

sometimes, you just need to write a story that makes you feel good about people. I hope reading it transfers some warm-and-fuzzies too. I came to this one as a passionate (and maybe over-observant) shopper and wearer of clothes. I left with a heart full of admiration for @lindyquist of @lindquist.object, Anna Wallack of @misha_and_puff, and @rudyjude of @rudyjudeco. Also had the best time talking to @ilanakohn and @_kas_maria_ and the influencer who has influenced me the most, brilliant @ahistoryofarchitecture. P.S. @ladygraphite is our city’s patron saint of retail, and don’t you forget it. thank you to @kbolo71 for your patience with me and support. if you missed this (it ran a few days ago), you can find it at @nytstyle (🙌🏻 @stellabugbee) And a forever reminder: communal endeavors are always the ones that yield the best results. 🩵💛❤️💙 07 Sep 2026

Breaking News! (which we were technically supposed to share via video but I don’t see us getting our acts together for that so I took matters into my own hands/handwriting). “Love in the Afternoon, and Evening” is coming to @sixbridgesbookfestival!!! With @reginablackwrites as our conversation partner!! This fall! 07 Aug 2026

hello! guess what is happening again? like it does every year? ‘tis I, yours truly, moi, reminding everyone to schedule your mammogram or to remind the other eligible boob-owners in your life to schedule theirs. this year, with Mercury being in retrograde and me being a Gemini, I actually turned up at my chosen Weill Cornell Imaging Center for my appointment yesterday, July 16 (as it was on my calendar, and I scheduled it a year ago), only to discover that, in fact, I was on the books for July 15 😳. got lucky and they were able to reschedule me for today (one day later). 🙏🏻💙🩵💛 17 Jul 2026
