Since well before Victor Hugo looked up at Notre Dame and thought, "Huh... what if a hunchback lived in there?" authors have been inspired by Paris. The Storytime in Paris podcast will help keep this tradition alive with short interviews and readings from your favorite contemporary authors with a French connection.

Every episode will feature five questions, asked by you, our authors' biggest fans, and answered live on air. Then, our authors will treat us to a reading of an excerpt from their book. Who knows? Maybe you'll even be inspired to write your own Great French Novel. Happy listening!

Ep. 61 - Dr. Tara Isabella Burton, “Self-Made: Creating Our Identities from Da Vinci to the Kardashians”

My guest this week is author, theologian, and cultural critic Dr. Tara Isabella Burton. Tara has written five books, including three novels and two nonfiction books. Her debut novel, “Social Creature,” was named a "book of the year" by The New York Times, New York's Vulture, and The Guardian. In addition to this, her writing has appeared in publications like The New York Times, National Geographic, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal.

Tara’s second nonfiction book “Self-Made: Creating Our Identities from Da Vinci to the Kardashians” traces the myth of the self-made person from the Italian Renaissance, and the idea that genius can make you a star, through the dandies of England and France, to the “you can do anything if you work hard enough” slogan in the US, to the Hollywood star, to modern day internet influencers famous for inhabiting their brand, and everything in between.
