Susan Orlean, one of the best journalists of our generation, has written a memoir, along with some great advice about writing. Beyond writing, she has thoughts on the importance of curiosity in these trying times. Curiosity can break down barriers, and create beautiful stories out of the ordinary. And Susan does it brilliantly in all of her writing, and especially in her new memoir, Joyride. It is a joy to read Joyride. And we speak to a new bookstore owner in Charleston, South Carolina, Summer Anderson, who is also a joy and who seems to take joy out of all she does. Join us for a great discussion on writing, the art of curiosity and joy.
