Episode description

Author Claire Messud joins Zibby to discuss her latest novel, A Dream Life, which she actually wrote years ago before abandoning it at the recommendation of a mentor. The two talk about Claire's original inspiration for the story, as well as who she believes most readers will connect with, and the main misconception about novellas. Claire also shares her journey to becoming a writer, why her famous novel, The Emperor's Children, was almost never written, and the semi-autobiographical project about her family she is working on next.
