In this week’s episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet, award-winning author Donald Quist discusses his linked story collection, For Other Ghosts. The stories take place in settings across the world with characters that are equally varied. Donald approached this story collection as a means of radical empathy, pushing himself to write beyond what he knows and to find connections to and amongst his characters and, hopefully, his readers as well. Donald is also the author of the acclaimed essay collection, Harbors, and he will follow that up with another essay collection to be released this fall. As if he wasn’t busy enough, Donald is hard at work on his PhD in English, he serves on the faculty of the MFA in Writing program at Alma College, and he is the creator of the online nonfiction series, Past Ten. In this episode, Donald discusses his writing journey, his views on the democratization of the publishing industry, and the biggest lesson he has learned from his MFA students: a concept he calls aboutness.
