“I have been working on these stories for a long time, some of them are more recent. I really love that in a short story you can have sort of a limited universe, there’s so much economy and so much layering. I keep working on them no matter what else I’m doing,” Edwidge Danticat. “Everything Inside” is an eight-story collection with the common themes of diaspora, love and Danticat’s birthplace, Haiti. She‘ll share how it all came together with her long-time friend, Mitchell Kaplan, on this episode of The Literary Life. Recorded at Books & Books in Coral Gables, Florida.
