A Word on Words with Megan Abbott
Gymnasts start at age three or four. So how do they really know what they really want, and how do the parents know when their [own] desires have taken over?
I had a blast talking with one of the most talented novelists of our time, thriller writer Megan Abbott. We touched on her latest book, YOU WILL KNOW ME, a fascinating look into the life of a gymnastics prodigy and who the ambition for greatness really belongs to—child or parent? We also talked about why genre distinction doesn't really matter (a good story is a good story, y'all).
