“Fiction is there to let us know we’re not alone. Whatever we’ve thought and felt has probably been thought and felt before.”
As part of their ongoing series Literary Arts: The Archive Project, Oregon Public Broadcasting will be airing a talk of mine tonight, originally given in January 2011 at the Portland Arts & Lectures series in Portland, Oregon. It will also be posted to their website for future listening.
