“Site Fidelity is a delight to read at the sentence and individual story scale, but it truly becomes a marvel when viewed as a collection.” Michael Welch reviews Claire Boyles’s debut story collection, out soon from W.W. Norton.
“I count on memory to work as a kind of filter, and I trust that what sticks in the filter, even if I don’t know why it’s there, is there for a reason.” Michael Welch talks with Larry Watson about his new novel and a career of writing the High Plains.
