83: Lessons from a Year in Siberia – A Conversation with Brendan Isaac Jones

Brendan Isaac Jones is an author, father, husband, Fulbright scholar, and MacDowell fellow. His first novel, The Alaskan Laundry, was published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, and his second, Whispering Alaska, by Penguin Random House. He’s now at work on a memoir about his Fulbright year in Siberia. In this episode, we discuss the memoir, the difference between provincialism and parochialism, and how a kid born in Colorado and raised in Philadelphia became an Alaskan writer.
