Bonus! Joanna Pocock on why your phone and notebook might be all you need to write
Manage episode 516624532 series 3352723
I’m talking with the essayist Joanna Pocock, and this is some bonus content from our original interview.
America is a place that has compelled countless writers to travel its vast and varied landscapes. Perhaps you’ve done it yourself. But what happens when you feel compelled to do it all again?
That’s the question at the heart of Joanna Pocock’s essay, Greyhound (Fitzcarraldo Editions). Named after the iconic bus company whose intercity network carries passengers from Detroit to Los Angeles — and which Joanna relies on for her own journey — Greyhound revisits familiar motels, crossings, and bus stations she first encountered years before.
Joanna’s writing has appeared in the LA Times, Guardian US and the Nation among others. GREYHOUND is her second book, and her first, SURRENDER, won the Fitzcarraldo essay prize.
