CHIRB interview with Christina Baker Kline!

Not only did I get to read an early copy of Christina Baker Kline’s new book THE EXILES (it’s soooo good!), I also got to interview Christina for the Chicago Review of Books.

I talked with Christina about inspiration decades in the making, the responsibility she felt toward those who lived the history she fictionalizes, and the upsides of swapping a virtual book tour for the traditional traveling version. “I will miss meeting people on the road and hearing their reactions to a novel I’ve spent years writing in solitude. Those interactions are the best part of being on tour. (Snarfing cold breakfast sandwiches in airports, not so much!)”
