In this very special episode, author Daniel Quinn’s wife Rennie Mackay Quinn joins us for her first ever interview: sharing untold stories, new insights, and reflections on her life and journey with her beloved late husband Daniel Quinn.
Rennie tells us about the 15 years it took Daniel to write Ishmael, the childhood dream that sparked it, how the word “hamburger” changed their lives, how they navigated the response and acclaim to Ishmael, and much more.
