I just came back from my first time ever in Miami with my fiancé, and I thought why not re-air my thrilling conversation with Miami based writer Rochelle Weinstein. This aired about two years ago, and I definitely am going to have Rochelle back on to discuss her new novel We Are Made of Stars!
We have an exciting conversation about what type of literature Rochelle writes which I coin "Romantic Realism." Rochelle provides so much literary insight in this episode, and she first explains why after giving birth to twin boys she knew she needed to become a writer! Then, I ask her why Miami holds such a special place in her literature and upbringing. For Rochelle, Miami is not just a literary setting, it's an atmosphere for her reader.
