Stephen King calls Abigail Thomas the "Emily Dickinson of memoir." Thomas' remarkable path has taken her from raising her family through times of color and challenge on the Upper West Side of Manhattan to her current home in Woodstock, NY. Along the way she has been a book editor and agent before turning to her own writing. She is the author of numerous books of fiction and nonfiction, including her multi-award winning memoir, A Three Dog Life. She joins us to talk about her latest memoir, Still Life at Eighty, which details her time through love, loss , and aging during the Covid-19 pandemic. She is a joy and a wonderful model for living a full and authentic life. Learn more about Abby at https://www.abigailthomas.net/
