Jean Hanff Korelitz, THE LATECOMER: A Novel

New York Times bestselling author Jean Hanff Korelitz returns to discuss her latest novel, The Latecomer, which she has been working on for years on and off. Jean tells Zibby about the role Steve Martin played in writing this novel, which episode of the British Antiques Roadshow inspired parts of the story, and what elements of fertility journeys Jean made sure to include. The two also talk about some of Jean's recent accolades, such as being chosen to be The Tonight Show's Summer Read for 2021 and having both The Plot and The Latecomer optioned for television.
