Over the course of more than two decades and eight novels, Meg Wolitzer has been exploring the messy, complicated relationships between women, women and men, and within families. In her new novel, she goes deep inside the lives – and frustrations – of four formerly well-employed stay-at-home moms who are trying to figure out what’s next, now that their children are nearing adolescence and busy with their own lives. It’s called The Ten-Year Nap, and Meg Wolitzer speaks about it with Faith Salie on Fair Game.
