From Hungary with love (language) with Rebecca Makkai
Manage episode 362325744 series 3362996
Rebecca Makkai is borderline obsessive with language. When you read her books, it feels like every sentence and every word is exactly where it should be. When you find out that she's on a quest to learn one of the world's most difficult languages, it's easy to understand why words matter so much to her. Rebecca's latest book, I Have Some Questions for You, uses her obsession with language to tell a story riddled with deep character construction. We dive into both her loves, writing the perfect story and learning the challenging language of her father, and what it was like growing up with linguists as parents.
