Summary

In this special episode (a live event for the Streicker Center!) Zibby speaks to national bestselling author and repeat MDHTTRB guest Dani Shapiro about the spectacular, 15-years-in-the-making Signal Fires (a TIME Best Book of the Year and a Washington Post Notable Work of Fiction). Dani talks about the powerful and unexpected connections between her characters, her profound compassion for them, and her story's complex and kaleidoscopic structure. She also shares her views on life and what happens after it, which she explored beautifully in her memoir Devotion. Finally, she reveals the details of her book’s TV adaptation and answers questions from the audience. P.S. Dani is one of Zibby’s all time favorite authors!!
