chicklet that made us who we are. My name is Karen O'Donohoo and I am a novelist, a journalist

and someone who spends a lot of her time reading about sexy people kissing. Today I've

invited literary agent and writer Abigail Bergstrom to talk about the 2006 mega hit

travel memoir Eat Pray Love. Abigail, thank you so much for coming.

Welcome. Thank you for having me. I'm thrilled to be here. I generally ask

people at this juncture what made you choose this book, but actually I made you choose this. I was like, oh, I just texted you out of the blue to say, what do you do this? And I did it because we went for dinner about a year ago and we were quite drunk on the tube home and I don't know right

I don't know what brought it up but someone like one of us said Elizabeth Gilbert and then the other person just leaned in being like,

oh my God! I love her!

Yeah, and I think it's quite representative of Liz Gilbert and he prayed love in that like it's become so much of a

cliche that you can only bring it up when you're pissed and there's only two of you.

Yes, yes, again it kind of is otherwise you feel a bit like like, oh, I'm embarrassed. I don't like, like

Jody Pico, I feel like she's similar to that as well. Like I love Jody Pico, but I feel like I'm not allowed to admit that to people.

Is that how you pronounce your last name? I was always saying pickle.

Oh, pickle.

With a silent tea?

I think the tea is silent.

You got that bit right.

Or we're both wrong in which case, I'm sorry everybody.

So many people already know the plot E-Pare Love, but I'm going to give a quick summary just for the uninitiated.
