Shelley Read: Writing With a Deep Sense of Place

The Literary Life with Mitchell Kaplan

On this edition of The Literary Life, it's my hope that listening to Shelly Read (Go as a River) talk about her life in Western Colorado and its influence on her engaging story of Victoria and how she perseveres over three decades, confronting love and disappointment and the harsh and beautiful reality of her life, will compel you to take a chance on this debut. You won't be sorry. As Bonnie Garmus, the author of Lessons in Chemistry, writes: Go as a River is completely unforgettable.

My interview with Shelley was conducted live right before her event at Books and Books in Coral Gables, Florida.
