Nell Freudenberger Discusses The Limits with Julie Orringer

The Flight Portfolio is the inspiration for the Netflix series Transatlantic, which first aired in April 2023. All of Orringer’s work has been published by Alfred A. Knopf, and her books have been translated into twenty languages. Her stories have appeared in numerous anthologies, including The Granta Book of the American Short Story and The Scribner Anthology of American Short Fiction.
