Last week, I was a guest on Kerri Miller’s Big Books and Bold Ideas, and this week on Author 2 Author with Bill Kenower.

With Kerri Miller, we talk about the ideas around The All-American, what being “American” really means anyways, along with some thoughts about identity and American football. Miller asks really sharp questions about the book and me, and talking to her was a real pleasure.

With Bill Kenower, we dig into writing and how I got started in this whole mess of writing. It’s one of those conversations about a thing that you don’t really think about the further along you get into something: not so much the tepid “how did you start” but how the hell did you keep going? It’s a good addition to what I was talking about over at LitHub back in April.
