An Interview with Robert Westfield,Author of Suspension

Welcome to episode 6 of the Harper Perennial Podcast, a show about the life of books.

In this episode, Robert Westfield talks about his new novel, Suspension -- a funny and insightful story about being swept up in events beyond your control and regaining your foundation afterward.

Written in the months following September 11th, Suspension draws on Robert's own experiences living in New York, and his great affection for the city. The story weaves together the lives of protagonist Andy Green, his family, his friends, and complete strangers, revealing that all are interconnected, dependent upon one another -- like the components of a suspension bridge.

Suspension is available at bookstores and online retailers now.
