November’s Book Club pick is The Tiger’s Wife, by the talented debut author Téa Obreht. This is a big month for Téa—not only has the paperback of her best-selling novel just been published, but she’s also on the short list for the National Book Award (to be given out on 11/16).
And now, for the next week, Téa will answer your questions.
The detail page for The Tiger’s Wife has an essay from Téa, a video, and a short interview with the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Visit From the Goon Squad, Jennifer Egan.
Have a look. And please feel free to email us at Omnivoracious@Amazon.com with your questions for Téa.
