Chris Pavone, THE DOORMAN: A Novel

New York Times bestselling author Chris Pavone returns to the podcast to discuss THE DOORMAN, a pulse-pounding, perceptive, sensationally good novel that explores class, privilege, race, sex, and murder through the eyes of a doorman in a luxury New York building. Chris shares the moving real-life inspiration behind the story—a beloved doorman named Johnny—and opens up about his writing process (including writing flap copy before even starting the novel). The two dive into questions of grief, humanity, and what makes a novel truly compelling.Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3SXU77iShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!** Want more?
