Edward P. Jones

Pulitzer-Prize winning novelist and short-story writer Edward P. Jones is interviewed by poet E. Ethelbert Miller, who draws the private, thoughtful Jones into an illuminating conversation about his writing process, the intersections of imagination and life, and the origins of his characters in Lost in the City and The Known World. Jones describes his own process, and the way he approaches the teaching of creative writing, in geographical terms: the scaling of a mountain, the need for good maps.
