Elizabeth McCracken, from Boston to Austin

Fiction writer and memoirist Elizabeth McCracken joins us to discuss her latest short story collection, The Souvenir Museum (which is long-listed for the National Book Award in fiction), as well as her novels and thoughts about good writing.

Whether writing nonfiction about profound personal loss, or fiction about poignant giants or Borscht Belt comics, McCracken is deliciously readable and full of heart. She writes in a voice that makes you wish you could corner her for a cappuccino and discuss everything under the sun.
