Hear about the surprising reaction—even backlash from some—to her philosophies that even caused a restaurant ruckus!

She is married to author Michael Chabon, who went on to win the Pulitzer Prize in 2001. Entertainment Weekly declared the couple “a famous — and famously in love — writing pair, like Nick and Nora Charles with word processors and not so much booze.”

Ayelet Waldman is the author of The New York Times bestseller, Bad Mother: A Chronicle of Maternal Crimes, Minor Calamities and Occasional Moments of Grace. Her other books include Daughter’s Keeper, the Mommy-Track Mysteries, and Love and Other Impossible Pursuits. A film based on this novel starring Natalie Portman recently premiered at the Toronto Film Festival.

Waldman’s personal essays have been published in a wide variety of newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, the Guardian, the San Francisco Chronicle, Elle Magazine, Vogue, Allure, Cookie, Child, Parenting, Real Simple, Health, and Salon.com.
