Author Mark Helprin: The Life of An American Novelist

Host Eric Metaxas and novelist Mark Helprin, whom Metaxas describes as the greatest living fiction writer, sit down for an intimate conversation on Helprin’s six decades of writing. The two discuss Helprin’s book themes, prose, and theology, and read excerpts from his bestselling book Paris in the Present Tense. The exchange includes many captivating stories, including Helprin’s tale of accidentally getting on the wrong bus that led to an Israeli rehabilitation center for criminals, which of course later makes it into his writing, and much more. This is part one of a two-part series. This was taped in Charleston, South Carolina in April 2024.
