Helen Schulman, LUCKY DOGS

Zibby interviews New York Times bestselling author (and Zibby’s 1993 summer writing class instructor!!) Helen Schulman about Lucky Dogs, a dazzling and propulsive book about two women on opposite ends of a high-profile sexual abuse scandal. It explores love, power, betrayal, and obsession. Helen describes the heartbreaking Me Too story that inspired this novel and delves into her fascinating female characters. She also talks about her teaching career, her writing process, her screenplays, her next projects, and how the aftermath of the pandemic is still affecting her and the people around her. Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3OnBHePShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!** Want more?
