This week we podcast Audrey Niffenegger, artist and critically accalimed author of the best-selling The Time Traveler’s Wife.

Audrey NiffeneggerThe Three Incestuous Sisters

Niffenegger’s wonderful new creation is The Three Incestuous Sisters, an evocative illustrated book reminiscent of the gothic style of Edward Gorey. It is a visually stunning tale — “a novel in pictures” — of three very different sisters, (one smart, one beautiful, one talented) affirming Niffenegger’s genius as a storyteller. The melodrama that follows of sibling rivalry escalates to a dizzying climax of passion, revenge, shame and despair.
