Hanna Halperin, I COULD LIVE HERE FOREVER

Zibby interviews award-winning author Hanna Halperin about I Could Live Here Forever, a poignant and brutal novel about an intense, all-consuming relationship between an MFA student and a recovering addict. Hanna shares how her writing is informed by life experiences: her own MFA program and past relationships with the cyclical complexities explored in the novel—intoxicating attraction, low lows, and the struggle for balance. Hanna also details her whirlwind writing process during the early pandemic days. The episode concludes with a discussion of Hanna’s life outside of writing and her advice for aspiring authors.
