Grief and Hope: The Atlantic’s Jennifer Senior on How One Family Dealt with the Aftermath of 9/11.

This week, Marissa’s guest is the prolific and brilliant Jennifer Senior, a staff writer for&nbsp;<em>The Atlantic,</em>&nbsp;who has also been a writer for the&nbsp;<em>New York Times</em>,&nbsp;<em>New York Magazine</em>&nbsp;and is author of the book&nbsp;<em>All Joy and No Fun: The Paradox of Modern Parenting</em>. Marissa and Jen discuss Jen’s latest for&nbsp;<em>The Atlantic</em>&nbsp;--a profile of a friend who died on 9/11, and what she learned about grief and hope. Also: there is talk of the effects of the pandemic on parenting and of course, there’s cake. Marissa bakes up Marion Burros’ famous plum torte, albeit with some twists.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
