Episode description

Zibby chats with author Jessica Soffer about THIS IS A LOVE STORY, a beautiful, delicately radiant New York love story spanning 50 years that tenderly and suspensefully captures deep truths about life and marriage. Jessica delves into the novel’s layered perspectives, including the love story of Abe and Jane, their son Max’s struggles with intimacy, and the presence of Central Park as a silent witness to countless relationships. She shares the evolution of the book’s structure, the inspiration behind its fragmented, lyrical style, and how teaching writing has shaped her own craft. The conversation also touches on the power of place, the impact of great teachers, and life as a writer in Sag Harbor.
