Kate Christensen, WELCOME HOME, STRANGER

PEN-Faulkner Award-winning author Kate Christensen joins Zibby to discuss WELCOME HOME, STRANGER, a lively, sophisticated, and emotionally resonant novel about grief, love, growing older, and the complications of family. Kate discusses her protagonist's journey through postmenopausal life, environmental gloom (she’s an environmental journalist with way too much knowledge about the food on her plate...), and the death of her problematic mother. She and Zibby also talk about anxiety (do all novelists have it?) and aging (61 is Kate’s favorite age she’s ever been!).
