New York Times bestselling author!! Jean Hanff Korelitz, THE SEQUEL

New York Times bestselling author Jean Hanff Korelitz joins Zibby to discuss THE SEQUEL, a deliciously fun, witty, and suspenseful read that gives readers an antihero to root for while illuminating and satirizing the world of publishing. Jean delves into her book’s meta elements, its dark humor, and how it plays off the success of her previous novel, THE PLOT. She also reflects on the quirks of the literary world, from book signings to writers’ residencies, and analyzes the motivations behind her morally complex characters. Finally, she touches on the pressures of being an author and the catharsis of writing about dark, transgressive behavior.Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3zwnmIxShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!** Want more?
