Garth Stein, THE ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN

Zibby is joined by Garth Stein to talk about his classic novel, The Art of Racing in the Rain, which has sold more than 6 million copies worldwide, been translated into 36 languages, and spent more than 3 years on the New York Times bestseller list. Garth shares his unique journey to writing, as well as how very few people believed in the book's potential early on. The two also discuss Garth's work with the author and bookseller communities through the creation of the Seattle 7 writers group and his position as chair of the Author Leadership Circle of Binc, which elements of The Art of Racing in the Rain are real and which were from Garth's imagination, and which book he's currently listening to.
