“How can you overcome stage fright? Viv Groskop talks to award-winning writer and nominee for this year’s Booker Prize, Elizabeth Strout, ahead of the ceremony.… Elizabeth tells Viv how the spaces that allow her to write are the ones in which she’s not needed by anyone. Riding the subway is good, but even better is her studio in Maine. ”

“No one captures the nuances of complicated lives quite like Elizabeth Strout, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author who likes to return to her characters and their communities in sometimes surprising ways, as she does in her new novel, Oh William!. Elizabeth joins us on the show to talk about the world of Lucy Barton and her first husband William, writing with her readers in mind and reading with an open heart.”

I was invited to select a story from The New Yorker’s archive to read for their Fiction Podcast. I selected “Bravado,” by William Trevor, which appeared in a 2007 issue of the magazine. Fiction Editor Deborah Treisman and I then had a lovely conversation about it and what I love about William Trevor’s writing.
With Deborah Treisman, “Elizabeth Strout Reads William Trevor,” The New Yorker Fiction Podcast, November 1, 2020.A couple weeks ago, I climbed to the top of Mount David with the New Yorker Radio Hour, a place I visited almost every month when I was in school at Bates College.
It was like ancient history to be there and remember! I’d never talked about Mount David to anyone, but it was such an important part of who I became.
