Diane Williams: “How High? – That High”

Idiosyncratic short story writer Diane Williams discusses her new book, “How High? – That High.” She says she is unable to produce fiction any other way than by her own methods. And no one else writes the way she does. Easily disappointed and bored with sentences, she chops and rearranges every line, every paragraph, to hear the music in her writing, to create a musical composition. And her stories reveal themselves to her as she writes.
