Why people recommend it

Swell by Jill Eisenstadt is a novel that marks a major return to fiction after a decades-long hiatus by the author. On The Book Review, Alexandra Alter discussed the release of the novel alongside another long-awaited book, noting that it had been twenty-six years since the author's second novel was published, during which time she focused primarily on non-fiction. Gilbert Cruz welcomed Eisenstadt onto the podcast to discuss her latest literary work and asked about the creative timeline between her previous book and this new release. Cruz also invited the author to describe the overarching plot and introduce key characters, such as the Glassman, giving listeners an overview of the narrative landscape of Swell.
