Sarah Langan on Trad Wives, Twists, and Timing

Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Good Neighbors Sarah Langan joins Zibby Owens in person to chat about her new book Trad Wife, which takes readers on a scary ride with a cancelled journalist out to save her reputation by interviewing a “trad wife.”

Sarah discusses the online phenomenon around the “trad wife” trend, the research she did for the book, and the ways social media distorts what information we may see. She also touches upon the isolation and lack of agency women can face, especially related to femininity.

Sarah shares the books she’s been reading lately and the next project she’s already working on.
