Julie Orringer, "The Flight Portfolio"

Julie Orringer discusses her book, "The Flight Portfolio", at Politics and Prose. Orringer made a memorable literary debut with the remarkable stories in her award-winning collection, How to Breathe Underwater. Then her first novel, The Invisible Bridge, made her a star. Praised for its breadth of imagination and masterful presentation of history, the book was a bestseller and remains a favorite. In her eagerly-awaited follow-up, Orringer returns to occupied Europe, this time with a powerful and compelling narrative based on Varian Fry. An American journalist who went to France in 1940 hoping to spirit out Jewish artists and thinkers, Fry stayed for over a year, and Orringer deftly narrates his dedication to his mission, the growing threats to the Jews he befriended, and brings us closer to the real people behind well-known names like Hannah Arendt, Franz Werfel, André Breton, Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp, and Marc Chagall. Orringer is in conversation with Katharine Noel, author of Meantime and Halfway House. https://www.politics-prose.com/book/9...
