In “Anne Frank: The Book, The Life, The Afterlife,” author Francine Prose notes that during Anne Frank’s last months living in the attic, she heard on the radio that when the war ended there would be interest in the stories of what people had suffered. That was when Anne started to rewrite her diary. We speak with Francine Prose, who calls the diary a deliberate work of art.

Guests:

Francine Prose, author of books including "Anne Frank: The Book, The Life, The Afterlife," "Goldengrove" and the nonfiction New York Times bestseller "Reading Like a Writer"
