Episode 54: How To Reinvent Your Life At 60, with Meredith Maran

Like a lot of women her age, Meredith Maran has a hard time believing she’s a woman of her age. And yet she’s published more than a dozen books, including The New Old Me, Why We Write About Ourselves, Why We Write, My Lie, and A Theory of Small Earthquakes. She writes for The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Christian Science Monitor, The Los Angeles Review of Books, The Rumpus, and Salon. A member of the National Book Critics Circle, Meredith lives in a Silver Lake bungalow that’s even older than she is.
