I Was So Busy Reading That I Hardly Thought of Writing: A Conversation with Adelle Waldman

In Adelle Waldman’s terrifically insightful, zingy comedy of manners, The Confessions of Nathaniel P., (Discover Fall ’13) readers follow a young writer, his star on the rise, whose immaturity and fear of commitment –among other traits–keep him bouncing and bumbling along as he looks for love. Waldman discusses why she was compelled to write about relationships from a young man’s perspective, her literary heroes, and who she’s been reading lately, among other things, with Discover Great New Writers.
