Writer and novelist, Robert Lukins, joined me on the show to discuss his second and latest novel, ‘Loveland’.

Topics discussed include:

Crafting the Nebraska that May visits, capturing its essence and making the fictional township of Loveland come alive - right down to the Goyle tours and the time capsule.

Why people obsess over previous generations and eras - how everything is gilded with nostalgia, particularly when you didn’t live in that previous generation/era.

Water - what draws us to bodies of water - even poisoned lakes.

Robert’s writerly journey - from writing novels he deleted the instant he finished, to now releasing two published novels of his own.

The best of conversation trajectories - describing the writing process and pursuit and everything in between.

And so much more!

Thanks so much to @ for having such an epic and earnest chat with me - especially about the writing. I loved the way that conversation went.
