Since Jamie Quatro is a new name for many of us, I’d like to share an interview with her from The Leonard Lopate show on New York Public Radio. Jamie talks about her collection of short stories I Want to Show You More and the recent enthusiasm for the short story form. Her stories deal with infidelity in the digital age, individuals who “wrestle” with their faith and find grace amidst loss and struggle.
I love Jamie’s stories. I cannot remember feeling so much shock and comforting reassurance between two covers. I read them over a month ago and I am still thinking about them. Oh, and I think the cover is marvelous. (Rachel Perry Welty is the artist; You can see more of her work here and here.)
It certainly is a wonderful year for the short story: Lemuria is fortunate to have had George Saunders in January, Ron Rash in March and now we are honored to have Jamie Quatro. Join us Monday evening at 5:00 for a signing with Jamie. A reading will follow at 5:30.
