New York Times bestselling and essayist Maggie Smith opens the series with a conversation about being a multi-genre author. Then New York Times bestsellers, National Book Award finalists, and old friends Jess Walter and Ben Fountain will talk about writing political fiction. National Book Award winner Imani Perry will discuss her latest book Black in Blues, and Pulitzer Prize winner Andrew Sean Greer will get us laughing with a discussion about writing humor.
