“Iris Has Free Time: A Novel” by Iris Smyles - a podcast by Kathryn Zox

Kathryn interviews award-winning author Iris Smyles on her latest book “Iris Has Free Time: A Novel”. In the tradition of Elane Dundy's Jay Gorce, Kingsly Amis' Lucky Hime, and Truman Capote's Holly Golightly, Iris is a new anti-heroine, a bracingly unique voice treating age-old subjects of love, sex, work and identity with a freshness and originality that will startle and charm. From quarter-life crisis to the shock of turning thirty, Iris Has Free Time charts a madcap, melancholic course through that curious age-one's twenties-when childhood is over, supposedly. She was awarded The Doris Lippman Prize for fiction and The Geraldine Groffin Moore Short Story Award. Smyles has written for Nerve, New York Press, and BOMB.
