Is All Writing A Mystery?: An Interview with Patricia Ann McNair

by Katey Schultz

…their imaginary places in their stories: Jesmyn Ward and William Faulkner come to mind. I don’t think I’ve broken any rules by returning to New Hope or swinging close by it. I picture these stories in that place, or their characters as being from or aware of that place. And if I have done my job right with the first collection, then the town I created has more stories in it than the ones I’ve already told. Back to this idea of rules, though. I am…

Tilling Our Unique Little Plots of Literary Land: An Interview with James Hannaham

by Joshua Furst

…philosophy that extends to my work, i.e., a belief that people respond to new forms, or new ways of presenting old forms, as much if not more than they do to new stories, or good stories. You’re right. Our choice of interview mode will create subtle but possibly profound differences in your answers. I wonder, which James Hannaham do you think will show up in person and which James Hannnaham will be sculpting answers out of words? And maybe most i…

Reliving My Life in Fiction: A Conversation with Pamela Painter

by Steve Yarbrough

…r fiction was in the ’70s and ’80s, it’s become even better with time. Her latest stories, the ones that make up the opening section of her recently released Fabrications: New and Selected Stories (Johns Hopkins University Press), would in and of themselves constitute ample reason to buy and enjoy the book. But in fact, Fabrications draws from her entire career, giving us the finest stories from her four previous collections: Getting to Know the W…

An Interview with Robert James Russell

by Nina Buckless

…tter yourself if you’re not writing, putting yourself out there. That’s a simple respect to ourselves I think is easy to take for granted: we need time to develop, to work, to practice. What can we expect from you next? I’m working on a new novel, another Western, called New Plains, which Dock Street Press will be publishing sometime in 2016. I’m also working on another novel set in rural Michigan in 1943 about a woman protecting her land and her…

Surfers and Cowboys: An Interview with Robert Garner McBrearty

by Steven Wingate

…lden oldies,” sort of a little more of my own self-mythologizing), and ten new ones. But what really comes to mind with this book is personal relationships. I have sat down with Caleb and with senior editor Sonya Unrein and had good conversations about Birds, and also about possible future books. It actually makes me want to write more, as Conundrum is interested in my overall career. It’s a new press, of course, or under new ownership anyway, and…

by Brian Short

…s out, Sam gets married, has a pair of kids, settles into the rhythms of a new life in a cookie-cutter development on the outskirts of Amherst, the town where his parents—who his new family believes are dead—still live together. Sort of. Things go swimmingly for Sam until the son of the couple who were killed in the Dickinson House fire shows up on his front porch. Shortly after, Sam’s families find out about the past(s) he’s hidden from them. Oth…

Writing with Intuition: An Interview with Hannah Tinti

by Charlotte Boulay

…rk with who I try to show how something is not quite tracking or not quite coming across. Then I’ll give examples of how I think they can fix it, and discuss challenges and ways they can work it through. When you’re working as an editor, your relationship with a writer is a companionship, working side by side, versus the teacher telling the student, “Go this way” or “Go that way.” So, I think that there are some writers who are able to take the cr…

Creating New Worlds: An Interview with Christina Baker Kline

by Kate Lemery

…own work. I’ve learned to trust myself as an editor; consequently, I’ve become freer in my expression as a writer. I take more chances, and I think my writing is better for it. At this point in your career, how many readers do you have review your work before you send it to your editors? Is that a change from earlier in your career? I used to have lots of readers. Now I only give a manuscript to my agent and one or two trusted friends. By the tim…
