Zibby is joined by Garth Stein to talk about his classic novel, The Art of Racing in the Rain, which has sold more than 6 million copies worldwide, been translated into 36 languages, and spent more than 3 years on the New York Times bestseller list. Garth shares his unique journey to writing, as well as how very few people believed in the book's potential early on. The two also discuss Garth's work with the author and bookseller communities through the creation of the Seattle 7 writers group and his position as chair of the Author Leadership Circle of Binc, which elements of The Art of Racing in the Rain are real and which were from Garth's imagination, and which book he's currently listening to.Purchase on Amazon or Bookshop.Amazon: https://amzn.to/3QjhRitBookshop: https://bit.ly/3qlxQSNSubscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch here.** Follow @totallybookedwithzibby on Instagram for listening guides and more. **(Music by Morning Moon Music.
