In the Literary Constellations

from Celebrating Arizona Hosted by Lisa Schnebly Heidinger

A deep and wide Arizona author himself, Greg McNamee shares a half-dozen of his favorite Arizona works. He describes being in grad school with author Barbara Kingolver, describing spending Saturday nights with beer in the pool and hearing her typewriter clacking away, "which probably explains our positions in the literary constellations," a stellar sentence with many others describing wonderful Arizona writers. He will return for the second half in a future episode, which makes Lisa feel fortunate. Lisa Schnebly Heidinger has been telling stories of Arizona people and events starting as a cub reporter in Green Valley more than forty years ago. She moved through radio, television, magazines, opinion pieces, magazines and books, until now she hosts the podcast Celebrating Arizona. Each of her guest interviewees has their own Arizona, and more.
