Episode 379: THE GRAY NEW DEAL Explores Grief, Love, Memory, and Friendship

Diverse Voices Book Review host Hopeton Hay interviewed Miriam Kuznets, author of the novel THE GRAY NEW DEAL. In praise of THE GRAY NEW DEAL, author Chaitali Sen writes, "In this deeply original novel of communal living, a group of seniors move back into the college co-op where they once came of age. What starts as a nostalgic experiment becomes a moving exploration of grief, love, friendship, memory, and the unfinished work of growing older, reminding us what it means to be alive at any age."Miriam Kuznets has lived in Austin since 1990 and has worked as a psychotherapist since 1995. She has an MFA in fiction writing from the Iowa Writers' Workshop, and her fiction and nonfiction have appeared in Narrative, Austin Noir, The Southern Review, The Antioch Review, Ascent, and other publications. THE GRAY NEW DEAL is her first novel.Follow Diverse Voices Book Review on Social Media:Facebook - @diversevoicesbookreviewInstagram - @diverse_voices_book_review Bluesky - @diversevoicesbooks.bsky.social
