Karolina Waclawiak was interviewed on The Maris Review podcast about her new novel LIFE EVENTS. She reveals that her initial inspiration for the novel came from listening to a podcast about exit guides, or people who assist the terminally ill in navigating death. She says, “I became absolutely fascinated because I had never heard of this. I started thinking about, who does this? I went down a total rabbit hole of what this kind of world is.” Farrar, Straus & Giroux published the book on July 28, 2020.
