This week on Unorthodox: Ralph Lauren steps down as CEO of his namesake clothing company, Amy Schumer lands an $8 million book deal, and Mahmoud Abbas drops by the U.N. General Assembly.
Our Jewish guest is best-selling essayist Sloane Crosley, whose first novel, The Clasp, tells the story of college friends who reunite a decade later and get swept up in a modern-day treasure hunt across Europe. She explains how a Jewish girl ended up with the name Sloane Crosley (there’s a Crosley radio involved, as well as a Charlton Heston movie) and tells us about the transition from essay-writing to fiction.
