Bender's Refund, a collection of stories that centers on money and family, are exquisitely composed portraits of modern life, and chances are you will encounter characters that remind you a little or a lot of yourself. That's the brilliance of Bender's storytelling.” Karen E. Bender joins Suzanne Lang in conversation on A Novel Idea. Also featured is Dan Coshnear, critically acclaimed author of Occupy & Other Love Stories.
