Welcome to this week’s episode of Cordelivres club! Today, we are joined by recurring guest Diane Josefowicz and Indirect Books’ new Publicist, Millie Oliver!

We discuss Diane’s new book, Guardians and Saints, and the way she explores character, time, and place. We had Diane on an early episode to talk about her novel L’Air du Temps (1985), and in today’s show we get into the ways she has traced her protagonist across multiple books. We also hit on how childhood connections influence storytelling and arrangements evolve into short stories and the vagaries of language.

Millie will be reviewing Diane’s novel for L’Esprit, and that made for a great discussion on the show. I hope you enjoy this conversation, and in the meantime—stay critical.

Merci !
