Welcome back to The Great Big Beautiful Podcast! This time, we’re joined by author Mira Bartók, author of The Memory Palace and The Wonderling. And the two books couldn’t be more different. Where The Memory Palace is an intensely personal and emotional memoir about mental illness, The Wonderling is a lovely children’s book in the grandest tradition of all: talking animals.

On this episode, we talk about The Wonderling, making the transition between memoir and fiction, writing for totally different audiences, memory, museums, Massachusetts, and more!
