REPLAY: Margaret Malone on the Portland Writing Scene, Philosophy, Psychology, & Improv
Om avsnittet
Today on the program, a trip into the archive and a return to Episode 396, my conversation with Margaret Malone. We were talking about her debut story collection, People Like You (Atelier 26 Books). It was a finalist for the PEN / Hemingway Award for First Fiction, and it won the 2016 Balcones Fiction Prize.
Air date: January 13, 2016.
A recent MacDowell Fellow, Margaret's writing has appeared or is forthcoming from BOMB, The Missouri Review, The Rumpus, Oregon Humanities, Paper Darts, The Masters Review, and elsewhere. She is a graduate of Randolph’s M.F.A. program (the best in the country in her opinion), and Humboldt State University where she received a B.A. in Philosophy. She lives with her husband filmmaker Brian Padian and two children in Portland, Oregon.
Margaret has been a volunteer facilitator with the non-profit Write Around Portland and a co-host of the artist and literary gathering SHARE. She is the recipient of grants and fellowships from the Ford Family Foundation, the MacDowell Foundation, Oregon Arts Commission, the Regional Arts & Culture Council, and Literary Arts.
She hosts the interview series & radio show Bust the Canon on XRAY.FM and teaches creative writing through Stanford’s Distinguished Careers Institute and in Portland at Literary Arts.She also works with people individually through The Blue Wolf Writers, mentoring both established and emerging writers on their projects in person and online.
And, oh yeah, she started a Substack, too.
A former member of the Dangerous Writers, in her heart she will always spend Thursday nights at the northeast corner of the table in Tom Spanbauer’s basement.
