A popular novelist is usually defined in the public imagination by the stories that they polish and publish into existence. But what about the tales left untold? The stories that secretly haunt their artistic history? 

Join internationally bestselling author Ann Patchett (Tom Lake) and her friend and fellow acclaimed author Meg Mason (Sorrow and Bliss) as they discuss the unwritten novels of their pasts, the manuscripts they discarded at the bottom of a drawer – which for Patchett was the entire first draft of The Dutch House – and the books read long ago that have stayed as spectres in their literary imaginations ever since.
