To Shatter and Create: Interviewing Matthew Kressel

Posted on

It was a delight interviewing Matthew Kressel for The Brooklyn Rail. We talked about his engaging debut novel, KING OF SHARDS, his other writing and creative projects, and the different ways Matt explores myth, landscape, and beauty in unlikely places.

NYC friends, The Brooklyn Rail is in print, but everyone can read it online. (And if you haven’t encountered The Brooklyn Rail, check it out. It’s a really wonderful journal.)
