Sister Act,
Social Disease and
I’ll Take It (my personal favorite), Rudnick has kept us in stitches from start to finish.
Combining wit and wisdom, Rudnick also gives us much to think about while we are laughing. His new novel,
Playing The Palace (Berkley/Jove, 2021), is no exception, and it couldn’t be more timely: Nice, gay, Jewish, New Jersey guy Carter has an unexpected encounter with nice, gay, British royal Prince Edgar, and a regal love affair is launched, presented in true rom-com fashion.
Rudnick was kind enough to answer a few questions shortly before the May 2021 publication of the book.
