Summary: A story from the author of the best-sellers <em>Wolf Hall</em> and <em>Bring up the Bodies </em>and her most recent, the controversial and often wicked short story collection <em>The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher</em>, in which we found the story you are about to hear. “The Long QT” features a standard, modern-day dilemma that delivers an entirely unexpected sort of fright at the end. Host Aparna Nancherla chats with champion open water swimmer, Lynne Cox, a real life survivor of the disorder Mantel's story is based upon.
