![]() ![]() ![]() Judy Blume: While I was working on the novel, a writer friend of mine who was between books said to me, “You’re so lucky, Judy, because you get up every morning and you know exactly what you’re going to do.” At the time, I didn’t have the sense that it was five years. What is it like to work on one project for that long? You’ve been working on In the Unlikely Event for five years. This is the foundation of In the Unlikely Event - the characters, events, and emotions motivated by real-life events from a midcentury town, living in fear and transition.īuzzFeed had the chance to catch up with Blume and discuss her new novel, her own teenage years, and any plans she has for future writing. In the early 1950s, Judy Blume was a teenager growing up in Elizabeth, New Jersey, when the unthinkable happened: A series of three plane crashes hit the small, suburban town within the span of 58 days and shook its residents to their core. ![]() After decades of writing children’s books and coming-of-age stories that shaped the lives of so many of her readers, Blume is using part of her own coming-of-age experience as the inspiration for her new novel - her fourth novel for adults - In the Unlikely Event. For the first time in seven years, Judy Blume has gifted the literary world with a brand-new addition to her already exceptional collection of books. ![]()
