This week we meet up with Nashville-based novelist, short story author and Brazilian jiu-jitsu grappler Adam Ross. Ross is the new editor of the Sewanee Review -- the University of the South’s journal is the oldest literary quarterly in continuous publication in the United States. Ross speaks to the push and pull between writerly tradition and innovation. He also recalls the grind of high school wrestling, and illuminates the creativity we express when we approach grappling with an artist’s mind.
