Author Iris Cohen stopped by the Jam Bunker to talk with Brad about her latest novel, Last Call on Decatur Street.
But, good people, she is the embodiment of GenX, punk rock, DIY writers and she’s carved quite a path through the world! She grew up in the French Quarter, a place with almost no children but surrounded adults content with putting building an art scene. She dropped out of high school and college before she was 17. And she co-founded The Accompanied Library, a storied literary salon in New York City.
All before getting her M.F.A. and becoming a novelist!
