A sometimes hilarious, occasionally heartbreaking, and always
entertaining joint memoir by Joseph Fink, cocreator of Welcome to
Night Vale, and his wife, writer and performer Meg Bashwiner,
chronicling the first ten years of their relationship from both
sides.There are two sides to every love story.In 2009, 22-year-old
Joseph Fink, newly arrived to New York City from the West Coast,
was juggling odd jobs to pay the rent and volunteering with a
theater company in the East Village so he could snag free tickets
to their shows.Meg Bashwiner, a 22-year-old aspiring performer and
playwright, was living with her parents in New Jersey, working a
desk job and commuting to her internship with that same East
Village theater company.Joseph and Meg's stories meet when they
both find themselves selling tickets in a cramped box office. They
quickly became friends. Within a year, they were a couple. Within
five years they were touring the world, performing on some of the
world's greatest and not so great stages.In this candid,
soul-baring memoir, Joseph and Meg recount their first ten years
together, each telling their story as they remember it, without
having consulted the other. We hear both sides of their first kiss,
first breakup, first getting back together, the death of a father,
marriage, international fame, world tours, mental illness, and
discussions about having children. Sometimes, they recall things
differently-neither agrees on who paid for the morning after pill
on their first date. Sometimes they remember the exact same details
in the same way-but still have their own narrative on just what
those details mean.Poignant, funny, and real, alternately told in
Joseph and Meg's remarkably different, yet equally compelling
voices, The First Ten Years is the story of two individuals finding
their way in the world and becoming "adults" as they learn to
become a couple.
