Today’s guest is Jacqueline Faber, the author of The Department … and Meb’s wife!

In today’s special episode, Meb & Jacqueline discuss the book’s themes, including trauma, memory, and the impact of the Kitty Genovese case. They both talk about how they approach the writing process, the art of getting noticed in a crowded market, and how to engage your audience with unreasonable hospitality.
