Family Frictions: Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney and Jami Attenberg

Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney, whose 2016 debut The Nest was a breakout hit and New York Times bestseller, will be joined by Jami Attenberg (The Middlesteins, All Grown Up) to talk about their novels’ portrayals of the trials and tribulations of family life. In The Nest, four dysfunctional siblings vie for the eponymous nest egg, which, if won, will solve their respective problems.
