Back in episode 47, Whitney Scharer discussed the incredible sale of her debut, THE AGE OF LIGHT, and now, she and James discuss the actual novel, which depicts the relationship between Lee Miller and May Ray. They talk about creating fictional characters from real people, when she had her “Aha!” insight into Lee’s psyche, cultural movements, Boston apartment hopping, and, of course, what you call a butt.
