"The Violin Maker." Our guest is the author, Amherst College's Molly Terrill, who this Thursday will be in conversation with Jacqueline Sheehan at the Odyssey Bookshop. We talk about historical fiction, what's real, what's fiction, the value of rarities, and our relationship to objects and music.
The Supreme Court has just begun its new term. We speak with UMass Legal Studies Professor Paul Collins about the Court's upcoming decisions on guns and climate change and the possibility — if Democrats take back the Senate — Justices Alito and Thomas resigning and the lame duck Senate confirming young, right-wing MAGA Republicans as new justices.
For writers, by writers. The Straw Dog Writers Guild WriteAngles Conference is Saturday, October 24. Our guests are Morgan Sheehan and Marisa Williams who discuss the 23 workshops, for whom the conference is valuable and how to succeed as a writer both personally and professionally.
