Check out this entertaining
interview with Other Words conference reader Bob Shacochis. In the video, Shacochis
discusses his favorite quiet place, his preferred places to write (including a
basement in Florida), and what makers a writer.
Shacochis, acclaimed for both
his fiction and nonfiction, is well-known for writing about travel in both. His
new novel, set on several continents, is The Woman Who Lost Her Soul, scheduled
for publication this year by Grove/Atlantic. His first collection of
stories, Easy in the Islands, won the National Book Award for First
Fiction in 1985, and his second collection, The Next New World, was
awarded the Prix de Rome from the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1989.
He is a former columnist for Gentleman’s Quarterly and a
contributing editor for both Outside and Harper’s.
