Ann Napolitano

Ann Napolitano joins me to talk about writing toward connection. We discuss the long arc of a novel, what our characters teach us, and the ways we shape--and are shaped by--the stories we tell.

Ann is the author of Hello Beautiful, Oprah’s 100th Book Club pick, and Dear Edward, now an Apple TV series, as well as novels that explore the complexities of family, longing, and repair.
