Adrienne Brodeur: Little Monsters

Bookreporter Talks To - A podcast by Carol Fitzgerald

Categories:

Adrienne Brodeur joins Carol Fitzgerald to talk about her novel, LITTLE MONSTERS, which is a Bookreporter Bets On selection. They talk characters — and each shares her favorite — as well as the story’s structure with multiple points of view. Adrienne has spent summers on the Cape for as long as she can remember, and her writing so beautifully about the place gives a clear picture of how much she loves it — and treasures time there. After writing her memoir, WILD GAME, where her mother was a central character, Adrienne noted that the mother is absent in her novel. They talk about a particular scene that has not come up in an interview before. And yes, they discuss the title — and the cover design. Oh, and why does one ask for female lobsters when buying them? It’s a brisk conversation that covers a lot of ground but gives away no spoilers.
