The Night Always Comes by Willy Vlautin

On today's episode, our guest is Willy Vlautin, Portland-based novelist and founding member of Richmond Fontaine and The Delines. We talk about hope, gentrification, trauma, and how songs become novels, as with his latest book -- The Night Always Comes. 

In the words of Richard Russo, "I can’t remember the last time I worried myself sick about a fictional character the way I did about Lynette in Willy Vlautin’s terrific, big-hearted new novel The Night Always Comes. You won’t soon forget either her or the fraught world she so courageously navigates."
