We had SUCH a blast chatting with novelist Dara Horn about fancy forks, trying to be Harriet the Spy, editing biblical texts, and her childhood fear of time slipping away. We also ask some not-too-spoilery questions about her gorgeous new novel, Eternal Life.
From Publisher's Weekly:
At the heart of Horn’s funny and compassionate novel is a 2,000-year-old Jewish mother seeking reasons for living, some way of dying, and help for her 56-year-old son who lives in her basement. . . Horn (A Guide for the Perplexed) weaves historical detail and down-to-earth humor into this charming Jewish Groundhog Day spanning two millennia.
Listen in and fall in love with Dara's wit and brilliance like we did.
