Walter Mosley and Joyce Carol Oates: In Conversation

Two of the most formidable writers of our time appear in conversation about their life’s work, exploring the creative impulse, writing across genres, and the constant tension between good and evil. In Joyce Carol Oates’ short story collection Zero-Sum, the mystery of interior life manifests in characters striving for both vengeance and seduction. In Touched, Walter Mosley uses a dystopian fantasy to reflect a mirror back on our world. Delve into the minds of these beloved and inimitable writers in this powerhouse conversation. Moderated by Olivia Rutigliano (Editor, Lit Hub and CrimeReads).
