Endings: Heartburn with Katherine Hill

We're joined one last time by fan favorite Katherine Hill ( A Short Move ) to talk about Nora Ephron's 1983 novel Heartburn , a thinly veiled account of the author's divorce from Carl Bernstein. Specifically: Why does it seem like everyone is reading this book right now? And is it somehow the godmother of the recent spate of Millenial divorce books? Also discussed: humor as a coping mechanism, voice-driven novels, recipes in fiction, and why are people on Goodreads mad at Nora Ephron?
