304--Bookin' w/ Marguerite Sheffer

This week, host Jason Jefferies is joined by award-winning author Marguerite Sheffer, who discusses her new collection The Man in the Banana Trees, which is published by our friends at University of Iowa Press. Topics of discussion include writing groups, the Iowa Short Fiction Award, student behavior, sequencing, the difference between workshopping a story and talking about one in an interview, resiliency, rain theft, being the first at something, lost snakes, sacrifice, and much more.  Copies of The Man in the Banana Trees can be preordered here (and purchased here after 11/5/24).  Happy reading!
