On this episode, Patti Callahan Henry & Mary Kay Andrews welcome bestselling author Jean Hanff Korelitz to discuss her new novel THE SEQUEL—the eagerly anticipated follow-up to her "insanely readable" (Stephen King) and "perfectly told" (Malcolm Gladwell) NYT-bestseller, The Plot. Jean Hanff Korelitz is the NYT bestselling author of the novels The Plot and The Latecomer (both of which are being adapted as limited series), You Should Have Known (which aired on HBO as The Undoing, starring Nicole Kidman, Hugh Grant, and Donald Sutherland), and Admission (which was adapted as a film starring Tina Fey), among several other works. Jean’s company BOOKTHEWRITER hosts Pop-Up Book Groups in which small groups of readers discuss new books with their authors. She joins us from New York City where she lives with her husband, Irish poet Paul Muldoon, to discuss her deliciously fun and suspenseful new novel, THE SEQUEL. Loaded with Jean’s signature wit and sardonic humor, this spellbinding new book illuminates and satirizes the world of publishing while giving us an anti-hero to root for in Anna, the widow of The Plot’s protagonist.
