Megan Marshall joins me to talk about writing from fragments—letters, objects, and the traces people leave behind—and how those pieces become a life in narrative form. We discuss the intimacy and responsibility of writing about others, and how that work turns us back toward our own lives.
Megan is a Pulitzer Prize–winning biographer and the author of five books, including Elizabeth Bishop: A Miracle for Breakfast, and After Lives, out now--a collection of essays that moves between history, memoir, and the enduring question of how we make meaning from the lives around us.
Here you’ll find books by Megan Marshall. Purchases through Bookshop.org support independent bookstores nationwide, and a small portion of each sale helps sustain the podcast, produced in partnership with WPKN 89.5 FM, Bridgeport.
