Alyson Hagy on The Write Question
With the stories in her latest story collection, Ghosts of Wyoming, Alyson Hagy illuminates the complex issues of life in the West with characters so real they could live down the street.
William Kittredge calls Hagy a "first-rate storyteller" and had this to say about Ghosts of Wyoming:
"Alyson Hagy knows our lingo, our lands and people, our heartbreaks and glories, and our tragedies and sustaining myths, and how each runs
through the others. Read and enjoy. Hope for more."
During this week's program, Hagy
reads passages from several of the stories in this collection and talks
about how the harsh landscape of southwest Wyoming shapes its
inhabitants and her writing. She also talks about her first impression
of Wyoming and the state's escalating land-use conflict.
You can hear The Write Question Thursday evening at 6:30 (Yellowstone Public Radio) or at 7:30 (Montana Public Radio).
Or listen online.
