Book Fight - A podcast by Mike Ingram and Tom McAllister - Mondays
Categories:
An unconventional literary success story this week, as we talk about Donald Ray Pollock's 2008 debut story collection, KNOCKEMSTIFF, which he wrote after quitting his job at a paper mill and giving himself five years to "make it" as a writer. We also talk about the proliferation of "20 under 40"-style listicles in the literary world, and why we're so obsessed with youth. For more, visit us online at bookfightpod.com.
