In fact, it was Packer who asked Chabon to curate a playlist of songs that would support the mood and tone of Some Bright Nowhere when she found herself unable to create one of her own.
View this post on InstagramChabon shared to his Substack, “Over the years, reaching way back to the cassette era, I’ve made a lot of mixtapes and playlists for other people: as gifts and love offerings, courtship gestures, mementos, nostalgic reminders of a shared history, expressions of friendship and affection, and tools for properly educating my kids (along with any other souls in need of musical guidance).”
Packer’s novel deals with themes of love and loss, and Chabon chose songs accordingly, starting with Sufjan Stevens’ “Death With Dignity,” which seems fitting for those who have read Some Bright Nowhere.
