Sometimes, if you’re going to go on a three minute radio spot or something, they’ll tell you “Make sure you say the full title of the book three times.”Īlex Shephard: That’s hilarious. I talked to Beha about Catholicism and New Atheism, what makes a novel “old-fashioned,” and what people mean when they say a television show is “real.”Ĭhristopher Beha: As an author, you get this media training and you’re told to bring the interview back to your book all the time. The novel’s premise, contained in the title, seems relatively straightforward - a college girlfriend reappears after a long absence - but Beha uses it to subtly explore an array of diverse interests - faith, literature, youth - and to bring home the novel’s overarching theme: the power and importance of stories. What Happened to Sophie Wilder, Christopher Beha’s debut, is a novel about coming-of-age and coming to terms (or, in many cases, not coming to terms) with one’s past. ![]()
