This week we're diving far, far outside my comfort zone with some French existentialism. I never knew Simone de Beauvoir wrote novels, and according to Susan Rubin, they're some of the most insightful novels ever written. ALL MEN ARE MORTAL is a tragic love story unlike any other, rich with history and leaves you unsettled at the end. It's also dense, wordy, and has its own flaws. We unpack all of it here! Along the way, Susan and I also talk about her debut novel THE ROAD NOT TAKEN, her journey from playwriting to documentary filmmaking to authorship, and the lessons she's learned along the way. I learned a lot, and you probably will too. Buy Susan's Book: https://www.skylightbooks.com/book/9781941861684 Follow Your Favorite Book on instagram and twitter @yfbpodcast
