Known best for his work on stage and screen as well as his wickedly funny essays from The New Yorker, Paul Rudnick (I HATE HAMLET, ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES, IN & OUT) has now delved into the world of romance with his latest release PLAYING THE PALACE. Marketing coordinator and romance aficionado Ishita Kent joined Paul for a hilariously fun interview discussing all of the shenanigans that came from writing his take on a royal romance, including big embarrassing Jewish families, scary matriarchs, happy gay stories, and the larger than life, almost dream like state of musical theater and how to bring that same feeling into a book.
Lori sat down with author Alexander Wolff to chat about his new memoir ENDPAPERS, a sweeping portrait of the turmoil of the twentieth century and the legacy of immigration, as seen through the German-American family of the celebrated book publisher Kurt Wolff.
