Echoes of Time with Rebecca Makkai & Meghan Lamb
Feb 21, 2023 Season 5 Episode 1

We launch Season Five with two wonderful writers, Rebecca Makkai and Meghan Lamb.

Rebecca is the author of four novels and a collection of short stories. Her novel The Great Believers was a finalist for both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. Her latest novel, I Have Some Questions for You, publishes today  from Penguin Random House.

Meghan has authored several books, as well. Her debut novel, Failure to Thrive, launched in 2021, and her latest novel, Coward, published in September 2022 from Spuyten Duyvil. Meghan is also the lead singer of an eighties cinema-inspired band called Kill Scenes.

In this first episode of the new season, we talk about how to be a “real writer,” how to pick the perfect title for your book, how to find strange jobs in strange towns, and how to break the rules.

Content Warning: This episode contains potentially disturbing material, including graphic descriptions of death.
