This week on Salt Lake Dirt, I’m thrilled to welcome back one of my favorite authors. Megan Abbott joins me to talk about her latest novel, El Dorado Drive. Megan explores the complexities of suburban life, focusing on the Bishop sisters, who navigate the murky waters of economic uncertainty and the allure of dubious money-making schemes.
Megan shares the inspiration behind El Dorado Drive, reflecting on her fascination with the rise of women engaging in various financial operations during challenging times. Set against the backdrop of her hometown, Grosse Pointe, a suburb of Detroit, the narrative captures the essence of a community grappling with the fallout of the auto industry's decline and the personal struggles of its residents.
El Dorado Drive a must-read. Thanks for tuning in!
