Anthony Doerr is a Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist. But he’s also one of us, Boise! And we are so excited to be talking with one of our all-time favorite authors today. He weighs in on our libraries, shouts out other local writers (looking at you, Alan Heathcock and Kerri Webster), and talks about what it’s like to call Boise home. If you haven’t read Anthony Doerr’s latest novel in which Idaho features prominently, you really should: we can’t recommend Cloud Cuckoo Land enough!

Speaking of writing, you can register right here for The Cabin’s free online writing workshop that we mention in this episode.
