Tk With James Scott

Though SOUTHERNMOST, the story of preacher Asher Sharp, took a while to take shape, it's a tale Silas House was born to tell. He and James discuss writing about LGBTQ issues, finding the right angle for a novel, putting characters in trouble, working with your reader, and grieving the loss of conversation. Plus, a great talk with Algonquin Books executive editor Kathy Pories.    - Silas House: https://www.silas-house.com/ Silas and James discuss:  Thomas Hardy  Willa Cather  JONAH'S GOURD VINE by Zora Neale Hurston WINTER LIGHT dir by Ingmar Bergman  Tom Petty  Mamas & the Papas  Jim James  "Rain" by Patty Griffin  Joni Mitchell  Celia Cruz  Jason Isbell  My Morning Jacket  Dolly Parton -  Kathy Pories, Algonquin Books: https://www.algonquin.com/ Kathy and James discuss:  Sewanee Writers' Conference  Wyatt Prunty  Philipp Meyer Ron Rash  Mary Robison Alexander Chee  Newtonville Books  Christine Schutt  Jill McCorkle  Workman Publishing  LIKE WATER FOR ELEPHANTS by Sara Gruen  Anne Winslow  THE OPTIMISTIC
