Souvankham Thammavongsa joins me to talk about the discipline of not wasting a reader’s time, the risks of being read as earnest, and the role of wit and irony. We also discuss how time can act as a container for a life on the page—and what it takes to protect one's love of writing.
Souvankham is the bestselling author of the novel Pick a Color, the story collection How to Pronounce Knife, and four books of poetry.
Here you’ll find books by Ann Napolitano, along with titles that illuminated our conversation. 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.
