In Conversation: On Hieroglyphics & The Boy in the Field

Original program date: Fri, Nov. 20, 2020
Original location: Null

Contemplative, tense, and tinged with poignancy, Hieroglyphics, Jill McCorkle’s latest novel – in which past traumas and bleak circumstances inform and compel her richly drawn characters – has been lauded as a “powerful narrative web” by Publishers Weekly. Joining her is Margot Livesey, whose latest novel is The Boy in the Field. It’s a story of how a single act of violence impels three young siblings on separate and unexpected trajectories, paths that will forever change their lives. Speaking with them is Leigh Haber, Books Editor for O, the Oprah Magazine, and the editorial director for Oprah’s Book Club.
