Lore Segal

Lore Segal discusses her new novel, Half the Kingdom. It’s a surprisingly lighthearted look at a serious subject. At Cedars of Lebanon Hospital, doctors have noticed a marked uptick in Alzheimer's patients. People who seemed perfectly lucid just a day earlier suddenly show signs of advanced dementia. Is it just normal aging, or an epidemic? Is it a coincidence, or a secret terrorist plot?

Lore Segal's new book of interrelated stories is Shakespeare's Kitchen. This is her first major work of fiction since Her First American, which came out in 1985.

Shakespeare's Kitchen is available for purchase at amazon.com
