We've got Zott! Or the closest we're going to get until we can convince fictional characters to come onto the podcast. Yes, it's Lessons in Chemistry author Bonnie Garmus! Bonnie's book, about chemist turned TV cook Elizabeth Zott (and her dog Six-Thirty) has been a huge and already beloved international bestseller, translated into 39 languages and with a TV adaptation in the works. We talked to her about, unsurprisingly, dogs in literature, plus the importance of Harriet the Spy, how science could save the world in a myriad of ways and how poets have the roughest time in literature.
