802 Colette (with Kathleen Antonioli) | My Last Book with Colombe Schneck

Twentieth-century French novelist Colette (1873-1954) was a strikingly modern celebrity and full of contradictions. In this episode, Jacke talks to author Kathleen Antonioli about her book Colette: A Critical Life (press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/distributed/…), which tells the story of the life and legacy of literature's most artful self-creation. PLUS twenty-first-century French novelist Colombe Schneck (Swimming in Paris: A Life in Three Stories) (amzn.to/3QFYG5A) stops by to discuss her choice for the last book she will ever read.
