Medaya Ocher talks with Ramaan Alam about his new novel, Entitlement, that tells the story of Brooke, a product of the upper middle class, who works for an aging billionaire looking for places to give away his fortune. Brooke comes to recognize all that she could do with a vast fortune of her own. Entitlement captures the centrality of wealth and dreams of wealth in the contemporary American imagination.
Also Garth Greenwell, author of Small Rain, returns to recommend Michael Gorra's Portrait of a Novel: Henry James and the Making of an American Masterpiece.
