It’s not every day that you come across a book that has been reviewed in The New York Times with “vegan” in the title, but somehow Andrew Lipstein managed it. He joins us this week to discuss his latest novel, The Vegan.

Andrew Lipstein is a New York-based writer. He is the author of Last Resort (2022), The Vegan (2023), and the forthcoming Something Rotten (2025).
