Bookshop Interview with Author Lindsey Salatka (Episode #155)

In this week’s episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet, author Lindsey Salatka discusses her debut novel, Fish Heads and Duck Skin. This story is loosely based on Lindsey’s own life, specifically the five years she and her family lived in Shanghai. While living abroad, Lindsey jotted down her observations on the city, the lifestyle and the people of Shanghai. When she began to write the book, Lindsey originally intended it to be a memoir, but that quickly changed. She decided that it would be much more fun to use her experience as the basis for a work of fiction. Fish Heads and Duck Skin is the story of a woman finding herself somewhere far away from home and learning to fall in love with herself and her place in the world. In this episode, I’ll chat with Lindsey about her writing journey, why she loves visiting with book clubs, and how she came up with the title for her book (Here’s a hint: It was inspired by her daughter’s two favorite foods).
