The author and journalist Taffy Brodesser-Akner has been awarded the Grand Prix de Littérature Américaine for her novel “Long Island Compromise” and its translation by Diniz Galhos. Brodesser-Akner tells us about the kidnapping that kicks off this sprawling family saga, and its repercussions through younger generations. We also discuss the pivotal role of wealth and privilege in American society, and why the aspirational lifestyles peddled by the rich and famous prompt such heated debate, after Brodesser-Akner’s profile of Gwyneth Paltrow in the New York Times Magazine went viral.
