Eight unpublished books. Endless rejection letters. A family straight out of Charles Dickens. In this unforgettable interview, author Jay Neugeboren opens up about the experiences that shaped his life and work, from mental illness in the family to conversations with the late Oliver Sacks. It’s a moving, wise, and surprisingly funny discussion about literature, aging, perseverance, and the stories we carry with us.
