Join us as Parul Sehgal, editor at the New York Times Book Review and award-winning critic, interviews Jong about her forthcoming novel, Fear of Dying, and her career as a novelist, nonfiction writer, and poet. Jong has written over 20 books, including What Do Women Want and Seducing the Demon: Writing for My Life.
