Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan on MAD HONEY

Published: Oct. 27, 2022, 10 a.m.

\u201cI was always writing, and I think it goes back to that\xa0Charlotte's Web thing when I had that experience of something taking me out of this world. It was mysterious, and transcendent, and glorious. And I'm still searching for that every day \u2014 if I can find a story that will do that to me and just kind of mystify me and leave me a slightly different person than I was before.\u201d Jennifer Finney Boylan and Jodi Picoult joined us on stage at our flagship store on Union Square in New York City to talk about their bestselling novel, Mad Honey, along with keeping bees (and secrets), what they learned from their collaboration, why they write, their literary inspirations and much more with Poured Over\u2019s host, Miwa Messer.
