Novelist Ann Patchett Rereads 'Bel Canto' in New Annotated Edition
Update: 2024-11-22
Description
Have you ever reread something you wrote years earlier and cringed? Or maybe you were surprised by the depth, heart and complexity of what your younger self put to the page. Ann Patchett had both experiences recently when she reread her award-winning 2001 book "Bel Canto." She's now reissued the novel with her own handwritten margin notes -- both complimentary and critical. We'll talk to Patchett about what she loves about the original and what she would change, and what it's like to edit your own work decades later. Patchett's new book is "Bel Canto: The Annotated Edition."
Guest:
Ann Patchett, author, "Bel Canto: The Annotated Edition"
