Hiatus Replay: Marthe Bibesco — The Green Parrot with Lauren Cerand

Send us Fan Mail

We're back with new episodes on February 7! The New York Times called The Green Parrot “A strange and beautiful story, with the faintly arid charm of a miniature painted on the cover of a seventeenth-century snuff box.” That’s just one of the many reasons Amy and Kim couldn’t wait to discuss the provocative and brilliant author Princess Marthe Bibesco and her 1924 gem of a novel. Joining them is this week’s guest, book publicist and jewelry designer Lauren Cerand.
