In The Life and Death of Sophie Stark, Anna North tells the story of a young woman who struggles with what it means to be a person in a screen-saturated world. It's not always easy to know how to be a human being, and it's getting harder, perhaps, as more and more people interact with one another only behind screens. "I felt like I'd come to a place for people who didn't know how to be people," she says, "and if I was there I must not really know how to be a person either." Her first few days in the city are disastrous she moves from bad job to bad job while living in a basement apartment with a dirt floor. Toward the beginning of The Life and Death of Sophie Stark, an actress reflects on her decision to leave West Virginia for New York City. Your purchase helps support NPR programming.
