Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Ten years ago, Czech author and essayist Patrica Hampl hit the literary scene with her now classic memoir of life during her country’s 1970s revolution. Now, Hampl joins Kojo to discuss her new book which examines the many people who influence her, from Anne Frank to Sylvia Plath, and looks at the many roles a memoirist can play.
