Summary

Make a martini and join me for a juicy conversation with legendary author Catherine Texier, where she talks about her new book, After David, a novel about a divorced writer in her early sixties who begins having casual sex with younger men on dating apps and winds up falling for Jonah, a thirty-something jazz guitarist who gives her a new lease on life. In this episode we dive into the power dynamics of men and women, what it's like to write novels inspired by her own life, and how fantasy informs our relationships.
