Rebecca Makkai on I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU
Episode description
"It's a literary, feminist, boarding school murder mystery — everyone's favorite genre."
I Have Some Questions for You is the thrilling and inventive new novel from Rebecca Makkai, author of The Great Believers, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. Part murder mystery, part timely take on issues that readers will connect with, this novel will keep you intrigued from cover to cover.
