Interviews with Scott Heim and Vincent Louis Carrella

Welcome to episode 18 of the Harper Perennial Podcast, a show about the life of books. In this episode, we look at two recent Harper Perennial releases:

We Disappear, by Scott Heim is a novel about a man who struggles to discover the truth about his mother's life as she succumbs to a long battle with cancer. There are threads of memoir woven through the novel, as Scott wrote much of it while his own mother was dying.

Serpent Box, by Vincent Louis Carrella, tells the story of Jacob Flint, a small boy of great faith living in a community of Pentecostal serpent-handlers in Appalachia. Vincent brings his own faith to the novel, and found that writing it shaped that faith anew.

Both We Disappear and Serpent Box are available now at bookstores and online retailers.
