Mia Macher is the protagonist in Zoe Fishman’s new novel “The Fun Widow’s Book Tour.” The character is a novelist and, like her creator, became a widow after her husband died suddenly in his early 40s, leaving her with two darling young children.
Mia has written a memoir, and her book tour becomes a travel to self-discovery. In this interview, “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes speaks with the real-life award-winning novelist about the book.
“The pandemic is a metaphor for grief itself. You don’t see it coming, but now all of a sudden, there it is, and now what are you going to do,” Fishman says.
