Exploring Strong Female Characters in Literature

Rachel Kushner’s Creation Lake is a spy novel and philosophical exploration told with humor, intrigue and a propulsive plot. Kushner joins us to talk about writing in the noir genre, the question of her narrator’s reliability, the purpose and reward of reading and more with cohost, Jenna Seery.
