Sex and the City author Candace Bushnell on escaping your protagonist
A writer struggles to distance herself from her most famous character and her dissolving marriage. Is Candace Bushnell's latest novel autobiographical?
Sex in the City author Candace Bushnell joins Shad to discuss her latest novel, Killing Monica. The book follows a writer trying to distance herself from her most famous character and her dissolving marriage — a story that recalls Bushnell's own life, post-divorce and after Sex and the City.
Bushnell reflects on the often uncomfortable relationship between authors and their characters, the truth value of fiction and how she feels about comparisons to her new protagonist, Pandy.
