Episode Description

Journalist, essayist, and author Brenda Janowitz joins Zibby to discuss her seventh book, The Liz Taylor Ring. Brenda tells Zibby about how this project — as well as 2020's The Grace Kelly Dress and her upcoming novel — were all inspired by her lifelong love for old Hollywood starlets, why she finds it hard to live in and write about situations that are not black-and-white, and which piece of advice from author Elin Hilderbrand she has heeded throughout her career as a novelist. Although she is no longer the Books Correspondent for PopSugar, Brenda still offers which books she is loving right now.
