Ep. 35: Daniel Wallace & Kelly Luce on Denis Johnson

In 2004, Daniel Wallace led a workshop at the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference that changed James's life. They reconnect to discuss Daniel's wonderful new book, EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURES, and in the process touch on not trusting compliments, using word clouds, writing sex scenes, and why no one is named Crouton. Then, Kelly Luce joins the show to talk about working with Denis Johnson, who passed away on May 24.
