Thanks so much for being with us.ĮLIZABETH GILBERT: Thanks, Scott. And Elizabeth Gilbert, one of the bestselling authors in the world, including the book "Eat, Pray, Love," joins us in our studios. Much of it is set in the early 1940s of Manhattan, a time of nightspots, showtunes, highlife, Toots Shor's watering hole, malls, gams, wise guys, and Walter Winchell - comes out just in time for summer.
"City Of Girls" is about 19-year-old Vivian Morris, who begins the book flunking out of Vassar and ends it in her 90s writing a long letter to the daughter of an old flame, one of scores of old flames. Elizabeth Gilbert's new novel is about the equality of desire.
