This month, David Plotz spoke with author Florence Williams about divorce, affection, good friendships, and her new book Heartbreak: A Personal and Scientific Journey. David Plotz: You saw a 20-year marriage collapse and wrote a book about heartbreak. When life gave you lemons, you made a book, trying to figure out to make yourself happier and get through it. I tried things [to cure heartbreak] that had some scientific evidence behind them. I also debunked quite a few myths that don’t have so much science behind them.
