National Book Award nominee Johanna Kaplan joins Zibby to discuss her latest collection of short stories, Loss of Memory Is Only Temporary. Johanna shares how she's continued to write while she taught for the past thirty-five years, what is the number one thing she looks for both in the books she reads and her own writing, and when she knew she wanted to become a writer. Johanna also tells Zibby about how her characters continue to stay with her and who she hopes this collection will appeal to the most.Purchase on Amazon or Bookshop.Amazon: https://amzn.to/3u4FCTjBookshop: https://bit.ly/3OP0q9rSubscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch here.
