Point of Fact: A Conversation With Diane Josefowicz and L'Air du Temps (1985)

Our third episode is a wonderful conversation with the brilliant Diane Josefowicz about her new novella, L'Air du Temps (1985).Diane starts us off with a reading, and then we get into the book: we cover narrative structure, novelistic composition--especially the theme of doubling and a mixture of past and present tense--the resonances to her own life and childhood found in the book, and the wider fictive world of her main character, Zinnia. Diane also shares how a true crime podcast and her background as a historian fueled the writing of this excellent book.We hope you enjoy the conversation--and if you missed Jessica's review of L'Air du Temps (1985) in L'Esprit, you can find it here!Merci beaucoup !
