Pulitzer on the Road

Jayne Anne Phillips and Viet Thanh Nguyen on Writing and War


Listen Later

Jayne Anne Phillips won the 2024 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for her novel, Night Watch, a vividly rendered account set in Phillips’ native West Virginia in the aftermath of the Civil War, that follows a severely wounded Union veteran, a 12-year-old girl and her traumatized mother as they struggle to heal. In this final episode of season two, she is in conversation with author Viet Thanh Nguyen, Pulitzer Board member and 2016 winner for Fiction for his novel, The Sympathizer. Together the authors discuss writing about war, the transformative power of literature, and the ways knowledge is passed from one generation to the next.
