SKYLIT: Hannah Lillith Assadi, PARADISO 17

Novelist Hannah Lillith Assadi makes her podcast debut to discuss her new book, Paradiso 17, about a Palestinian man's restless lifelong search for home. Writer and bookseller Sina Grace talks with Assadi, who is a longtime friend, about the process of funneling the grief from the recent passing of her father into a novel that is partly his story and partly her own. They talk character, they talk process, and they even digress into a long tangent on Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights (we just can't stop talking about it on this podcast!).

Pick up a copy of the book at Skylight or order the audiobook version from Libro.fm.

Produced by Justin Remer.
