Writer’s Voice: compelling conversations with authors who challenge, inspire, and inform.

Episode Summary

Novelist Jennifer Haigh joins us to talk about Rabbit Moon, her atmospheric and emotionally complex novel set in Shanghai. It follows an estranged American family reuniting after a tragedy—and a daughter living a secret life abroad.

“Writing is having a conversation with the best friend you’ve never met.” — Jennifer Haigh

Then, L. Annette Binder returns to discuss Child of Earth and Starry Heaven, her deeply moving memoir of caring for her mother through Alzheimer’s. It’s a story of love, loss, and learning to live fully in the present.

“The two things I carry with me is the love that my mom was capable of feeling and that I felt for her survived her cognitive decline.” — L. Annette Binder

In today’s show, we discuss two novels about World War II, told from very differing perspectives.

First, Jennifer Steil tells us about her novel Exile Music. It’s the story of a young girl who flees to Bolivia with her family after the Nazis annex Austria in 1938.

Then, a rare depiction of the war from the point of view of an ordinary German family as their lives and society crumble around them: we talk with L. Annette Binder about her novel The Vanishing Sky.
