Author Robin Black on how life and art influence one another
Listen 00:48:44Guest: Robin Black
Agoraphobia, the challenges of parenting a child with special needs, and the legacy of a formidable father. Those are the subjects of some of the deeply personal essays in Crash Course: Essays From Where Writing And Life Collide. The book’s examination of how life and art influence one another is part memoir and part literary analysis. Guest host Mary Cummings-Jordan will talk with author ROBIN BLACK about the insight Crash Course provides into how to write—and why.
