Back on campus (this time to teach film and podcasting), Bodie must come to terms with the tragedy that has long haunted her, while also working her way toward the truth. The book is set in a prestigious boarding school in New Hampshire where Bodie Kane’s former roommate Thalia Keith was murdered in 1995. This type of success can ultimately paralyze a writer, but as a skilled writer, Makkai found the words to squash this curse.Ī truly worthy successor, I Have Some Questions for You, is a propulsive novel that confronts a broken legal system. Released to resounding critical success, the book went on to win the 2019 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction and become a finalist not only for the 2018 National Book Award for Fiction but also the 2019 Pulitzer Prize in Fiction. Most writers would shudder at the thought of having to follow up a book like Rebecca Makkai’s 2018 novel The Great Believers.
