Ep. 72: SWC 04: Christine Schutt & Emily Nemens

TK with James Scott: A Writing, Reading, & Books Podcast

In our final episode of our Sewanee Writers' Conference series recorded in the summer of 2018, James is joined by Christine Schutt, one of our greatest authors, to discuss her career from FLORIDA to her latest, PURE HOLLYWOOD. They cover a lot of books, and a lot of ground, from nerves about reading to insecurity about writing, in an honest and illuminating conversation. Plus, friend and (relatively) new PARIS REVIEW editor Emily Nemens.
