Had a great time talking w Hal Ebbott about his superb debut novel, AMONG FRIENDS, available now in trade paperback from Riverhead Books. 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts.
AMONG FRIENDS is among the best debut novels I've read in a while. At once a kind of throwback novel (think: Cheever, Salter, etc.) and something very contemporary. A dark and gripping tale of friendship, WASPs & betrayal. Great talk w Hal Ebbott! 🎧 Listen tomorrow wherever you get your podcasts.
