Sen2mental Garbage: The Difficult Second Novel with Monica Heisey
Notas do episódio
This week we’re discussing Second* Novel Syndrome. When you’ve had a literary hit how do you follow it?
After the recent announcement of her new book, ‘Small Pond’ Monica Heisey (whose debut, ‘Really Good, Actually’ was an international smash hit) tells us about her experiences of tackling the infamously tricky second novel. And we talk about the stories where novelists have digested the success of their previous work on the page.
*or third, or even fourth
