Description

Rachel Eliza Griffiths always wanted to be a writer. She's written 5 collections of poems, a novel called Promise and The Flower Bearers," a memoir. This book tells the story of a young woman who has faced many bumps in the road including living with a mental health challenge that used to be called Multiple Personality Disorder. Griffiths has spent her life dealing with what she calls her alters or alternate personalities. She also has one relationship that has brought great joy into her life. Griffiths is married to writer Salmon Rushdie. Sitting on a couch in my living room on a sunny day this summer, I spoke with Rachel Eliza Griffiths about trauma, identity and what it's like to be best known as the wife of a famous author. "Now What?" is produced with the help of Steve Zimmer, Lucy Little and Jackie Schwartz. Audio production is by Nick Ciavatta.
