Christine Coulson, ONE WOMAN SHOW

Author Christine Coulson joins Zibby to discuss ONE WOMAN SHOW, a sly, stylish, and incredibly innovative novel–remarkably told through museum wall labels–about a 20th-century woman who transforms herself from a precious object into an unforgettable protagonist. Christine, drawing inspiration from her 25-year tenure at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, discusses the unique structure of her book, which mirrors museum labels. The conversation touches on the challenges of writing within constraints, character development, and humor. Christine also emphasizes the importance of breaking down the intimidation factor associated with museums, reveals what her life is like outside of writing (she is a mom, and yes, she collects art), and shares her best advice for aspiring writers.
