Description
Dan Chaon discusses his novel, “You Remind Me of Me.” He begins by explaining that his book is about the struggles and problems of family life. Martinson asks Chaon to read the first paragraph of the book about a young boy who has a near death experience. He talks about the consequences of giving a child up for adoption. Chaon talks about his own adoption experience and says that he wanted to write about how adoption can affect every person in a family. He ends the interview talking about his career as a professor, and discusses the next novel he’s working on.
