Thanks to Joe Donahue for his generous read of The Latecomers and for hosting me on his awesome NPR program  The Book Show. I had a fun conversation with him about how the book got started in the walls of an old house, how Matthew Weiner’s Mad Men taught me how to incorporate historic events and how present-day politics propelled me to write a book about immigrants (latecomers.) You can listen to the half-hour podcast here. And don’t miss Joe’s amazing recent shows with other authors, including Anne Lamott, Tara Westover and Tommy Orange.
