We're back with all new episodes on Jan. 30, 2024. Join us for a wonderfully funny and poignant conversation about life, death, and motherhood with award-winning writer Hilma Wolitzer. Her short stories, most of them originally appearing in magazines in the 1960s and 1970s, were re-discovered by her daughter, bestselling author Meg Wolitzer, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and published last summer in a new collection earning great critical acclaim. Today A Woman Went Mad in the Supermarket has received rave reviews from authors like Elizabeth Strout, Lauren Groff, and Tayari Jones and was named an NPR Best Book of the Year and a New York Times Editors’ Choice. Discussed in this episode: Today A Woman Went Mad in the Supermarket by Hilma Wolitzer (Bloomsbury Publishing, 2021)Ending by Hilma WolitzerAll That Jazz (1979 film) An Available Man by Hilma WolitzerMeg WolitzerElizabeth StroutLauren GroffTayari JonesGail GodwinLost Ladies of Lit Episode with Anne Zimmerman on M.F.K.
