Writers & Lovers is Lily King’s fifth book, a portrait of a writer as a young woman captured at the end of one phase of life and the beginning of another, when the conflicting demands of art and real life push her to the brink. At 31, Casey is still determined to live a creative life – something nearly all her old friends have let go of – and mourning the sudden death of her mother. When she falls for two very different men at the same time, her world fractures even more. Joining King in conversation is writer Kendra Winchester, co-founder and executive director of the “Reading Women” podcast, part of the Lit Hub Radio network.
