"By Any Other Name" is a novel about two women, centuries apart—one of whom is the real author of Shakespeare’s plays—who are both forced to hide behind another name. Told in intertwining timelines, it’s a sweeping tale of ambition, courage, and desire that centers two women who are determined to create something beautiful despite the prejudices they face, and asks the question - should a writer do whatever it takes to see her story live on no matter the cost?
This conversation between Jodi Picoult and NHPR’s Casey McDermott was recorded before a live audience on August 15th, 2024.
