Lisa Jewel joined Carol from London to discuss her newest novel,
Invisible Girl. Carol and Lisa first met at BookExpo a few
years ago, where they quickly bonded over Lisa’s thriller writing.
Carol has interviewed Lisa before, which brings a very funny moment
to the interview. They talk about Lisa’s inspiration for
Invisible Girl, which came from a rather innocuous
sighting, which got her imagination going. There are intertwined
stories of three characters; two who live in the same neighborhood.
Lisa reveals that the third character did not have a voice at the
beginning and she then clearly emerged and demanded her own robust
storyline. Lisa and Carol talk about the incel ideology that one of
her characters has embraced, and the strange ways it's creeped into
society. And the conversation leads to Lisa describing her thoughts
on perfectionism, how it influences her work, and how it affects
her life.
