Summary
Zibby chats with bestselling Israeli author Noa Yedlin about STOCKHOLM, a refreshing, ingeniously plotted dark comedy about a tight-knit circle of seniors who attempt to hide the death of one of their best friends so he can win the Nobel Prize for Economics. Noa delves into the novel’s themes of friendship, success, egos, aging, and mortality. She reflects on her writing career, from journalism to fiction, and then offers advice to aspiring authors.
