Read This: Rachel Kushner Is Not Auditioning for Her Own Dream

Rachel Kushner always seemed destined to become a writer. At just five years old, her unconventional parents had her working in a feminist bookstore. Now, several decades and three award-winning novels later, she is back with a new book that follows a spy-for-hire who infiltrates a commune of eco-activists in rural France. On this episode of Read This, Rachel joins host Michael Williams for a conversation about Creation Lake, which was shortlisted for the 2024 Booker Prize.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
