THE FIRST TEN YEARS - JOSEPH FINK MEG BASHWINER...

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.
