Elizabeth McCracken, THE HERO OF THIS BOOK: A Novel

Zibby speaks to bestselling and award-winning author Elizabeth McCracken about her remarkable new novel The Hero of This Book (a Best Book of the Year by Time, People, Washington Post, and more). Elizabeth discusses the autobiographical elements that made their way into the story and then delves into the poignant portrayal of her mother. She also talks about her journey to becoming a successful author (befriending Ann Patchett helped!), the projects she is working on now, and the books on her TBR list (one of which is Signal Fires by Dani Shapiro, which was featured on MDHTTRB just a few episodes ago!).Purchase on Amazon or Bookshop.Amazon: bit.ly/3V9v28iBookshop: bit.ly/3FZfNueSubscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch here.
