This week, host Jason Jefferies is joined by Pushcart Prize winning author Bill Cotter, who discusses his new book The Splendid Ticket, which is published by our friends at McSweeney's.  Topics of conversation include the difference in writing books for children vs. writing books for adults, towns that the world has moved on from, gamblers, whether women tend to marry their fathers, the question of why Texas loves guns, the principle of Checkov's gun, gun safety, moving on from tragedy, and much more.  Copies of The Splendid Ticket can be ordered here with FREE SHIPPING for members of Explore More+.
