“I’m drawn to stories about ordinary struggles—what happens when relationships cool or communities fracture or loved ones behave badly or bodies fail. Most of my work is set in the American South, my place of origin, and I’m concerned with rendering it plainly. Research and generous people who grant me interviews help in this regard.”
