An Interview with Josh Kilmer-Purcell, Author of I Am Not Myself These Days

Welcome to the Harper Perennial Podcast, a show about the life of books.

In this episode, produced and hosted by Diane Gilleland and Ken Lyman, we feature I Am Not Myself These Days by Josh Kilmer-Purcell.

Kilmer-Purcell discusses the experiences that led him to write this memoir -- a story that might seem outlandish on the surface, but is at heart a universal story of love and humanity.

In addition, we'll hear from Maureen O'Brien, an Executive Editor at HarperCollins, about how this book rather serendipitously found her.

I Am Not Myself These Days will be available in bookstores and through online retailers on February 7th. Pre-order the book now.
