This past Tuesday night, Liz Moore, associate professor and director of Temple's MFA in Creative Writing, appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to talk about her new book, The God of the Woods.
Moore was on the show in recognition of voters selecting The God of the Woods as the 2024 Fallon Summer Reads winner. Through July and August, Fallon and his viewers tracked their progress and reactions to the novel with the hashtag #FallonBookClub.
The God of the Woods has spent six weeks on the New York Times Best Seller list and appeared on Barack Obama's Summer Reading list. The novel has already been picked up for development as a television series. Moore's last book, Long Bright River, is being adapted for a limited series on Peacock starring Amanda Seyfried.
Even Jimmy Fallon had to remark, "Liz Moore, you're doing it all!"
