The Braindead Megaphone (Riverhead)
This conversation provides a mini-course in short-story writing, Saunders-style. Using the suggestions found in The Braindead Megaphone,
a book of essays, we explore the construction of short fiction from the
ground up. Given this writer's shoot-from-the-hip stance, the
instruction is funny as well as practical.
Guests:
- George Saunders: Short-story writer and journalist
Host
Bookworm Michael Silverblatt is the guy authors go to when they want a serious literary conversation about their writing, because Michael reads everything they’ve ever written, often surprising the authors with insights about their work that they themselves hadn’t realized.
