IAWB Presents 90s Book Club: Jane Shapiro with Sara Levine
In Conversation with Lindsay Hunter on I'm a Writer But
Welcome to IAWB Presents 90s Book Club, a special podcast from I’m a Writer But (where writers discuss their work, their lives, their other work, the stuff that takes up any free time they have, all the stuff they’re not able to get to, and the ways in which any of us get anything done) in which Lindsay Hunter is joined by a variety of her favorite freaks to talk about influential moments from the 90s.

Today, Sara Levine has chosen as her topic the elusive writer Jane Shapiro, author of After Moondog and The Dangerous Husband. After going down many rabbit holes, Sara found Jane’s agent, we emailed them, and Jane agreed to join us on the podcast! Jane discusses her career, publishing in the 90s, new work, Donald Antrim, and where she’s been all this time.
