    Welcome back to NovelClass, your book club podcast! Joining host Dave Pezza on today’s episode author, podcast sherpa, and NovelClass regular Daniel Ford. Ford returns to discuss Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin.
    Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow was published on July 5, 2022 by Knopf and is Zevin’s tenth novel. Set in Boston and Los Angeles in the late ‘09s and early 2000s, the book chronicles the friendships and love affairs of Sadie Green and Sam Mauser from their first meeting in a children’s hospital rec room to successful video game developers. Through their friendship, Zevin tells a decades-long coming of age story and explores the deeper understanding of true friendship and self-realization.

    5.03: Whereabouts by Jhumpa Lahiri (With Guest Host Mark Cecil)

    5.03: Whereabouts by Jhumpa Lahiri (With Guest Host Mark Cecil)

    In Episode 5.03, author and journalist Mark Cecil, host of The Thoughtful Bro author interview series with A Mighty Blaze, joins host Dave Pezza to discuss Whereabouts by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jhumpa Lahiri.
    As if Lahiri’s body of work wasn’t impressive enough, she had to raise the bar even high with Whereabouts, which was published in April 2021 by Knopf. The author fell in love with Italy and Italian so deeply that she wrote this book in Italian first and then translated it to English. So take a minute, mourn your mere mortal writing process.
    Considering the book’s short page count, any plot synopsis might be longer than the novel itself, so we’re going to get you right to it. Enjoy the NovelClass discussion of Jhumpa Lahiri’s Whereabouts.
    Keep reading, everyone.
