Books That Changed My Life: E.A. Hanks & Cloud Atlas By David Mitchell

In this episode of Books That Changed My Life, host Chris Collins sits down with journalist and author E.A. Hanks to explore the book that profoundly shaped her worldview: Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell. Known for her sharp reporting and lyrical writing, Hanks—whose new memoir The 10: A Memoir of Family and the Open Road has just hit shelves—opens up about how Mitchell’s intricate, time-bending novel helped her understand the threads that tie us across generations, identities, and lifetimes.

From her years writing for Vanity Fair, The Huffington Post, TIME, and The Guardian, to the deeply personal journey chronicled in her own book, Hanks shares how Cloud Atlas became both a literary revelation and a personal compass. Together, Chris and E.A. dive into questions of legacy, empathy, and the unseen ways our stories echo through time.

A must-listen for anyone who's ever been changed by a story—and for those curious about the books behind today’s most thoughtful voices.
