Summary
| Description | Susan Minot, "Why I Don't Write: And Other Stories" (Knopf), shares experiences with Karen Russell, "Orange World and Other Stories" (Knopf). Two masters of the short story talk about their craft, the ways they work and the enchantments of the briefer form. Minot is the award-winning author of many novels and collections, including "Monkeys," "Lust" and "Thirty Girls." Russell, author of "Vampires in the Lemon Grove" and "Swamplandia!," has a comedic genius for outlandish predicaments that uncannily mirror our inner lives. Moderated by Oscar Villalon, managing editor of the literary journal ZYZZYVA and a contributing editor of Literary Hub. |
