Episode Details

We were thrilled to record a live episode of You Are What You Read at PEN America’s World Voices Festival with bestselling authors Jodi Picoult and Fiona Davis. This was a conversation about women in literature… in both books and in publishing. Jodi talks about her latest novel, By Any Other Name, a story about two women, centuries apart—one of whom is the real author of Shakespeare’s plays—who are both forced to hide behind another name. Fiona tells us about her novel, The Stolen Queen, set in 1978 when two women team up to find one of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s missing Egyptian artifacts. We’d like to thank PEN America for hosting us for this conversation. We are thrilled to share it with you today.
