About A Writer’s Life: Readings

A Writer’s Life: Readings is a podcast I created just as the pandemic began racing through New York City. The first podcast was on April 23rd, 2020, World Book Day. Books have always brought us comfort in hard times, and I wanted to share the insightful and illuminating words of these writers to give us a few moments of pleasure and to take our minds away from the ravaging disease that was killing so many of us. The podcasts began weekly, then became twice a month, and then, as my novel took over and eclipsed everything else in my life, faded, becoming an archive I’ve reproduced here. Listeners have asked for them to be in one place so they are accessible, and this seemed to me the perfect spot.
