As my book work intensifies, we lean on these paperback editions of the podcast! (Listeners are digging them, I think. One, they’re the greatest hits. Two, it keeps you from having to dig through the overwhelming backlog). This one with Andre Dubus III might be my favorite of the entire run of the podcast, no shade thrown to the others.

It’s just … he brought it. And it’s one of the a rare episodes of the show’s run when, after listening, I wanted to get up and write. Right away.

This originally aired as Ep. 54 in June of 2017.

Since we last spoke, Andre has released a couple novels and a wonderful essay in The New Yorker, “The Lows of the High Life.”

His latest novel is Such Kindness, which came out in June 2023.
