Season 3 Episode 1 (Part 2): In Conversation with Sanaë Lemoine
In part two of our interview with writer Sanaë Lemoine, we explore her passion for food, which makes a welcome appearance at several moments in her debut novel The Margot Affair. We also discuss the fine line between food as something that comforts and nurtures versus food as something more sinister or violent, especially for women. Sanaë also talks us through her confinement period in Brooklyn and some of her recent reads.
