Monday August 3, 2015 - Allison Green: Tracing Literal and Literary Roots

We speak with Allison Green about her literary memoir, The Ghosts Who Travel With Me. Why would a lesbian-feminist model herself on Richard Brautigan? Listen to Allison read excerpts from her novel. Or Get MP3. 17:30 min.

Available from Indie Bound, Elliott Bay Book Company, and other booksellers online.

"Curious about her enduring love for Richard Brautigan’s work, Allison Green embarks on a road trip tracing the route of his most famous work, Trout Fishing in America. As she travels, she examines the way we relate to the things that influence us―the ancestors who created us, the past that shaped us, the writers who changed the way we saw the world―and how these things intertwine to make us who we are. The Ghosts Who Travel With Me speaks to a forgotten generation while breaking the confines of traditional memoir."
