Don Swaim Interviews

Audio Interview with Susan Minot

Susan Minot

Author Susan Minot comes to talk with Don Swaim in this 1992 interview. After earning a degree in creative writing, she attended Columbia for two years. From there, she began as a short story author and was published in The New Yorker. Then publisher Seymour Lawrence gave her a book deal, after seeing promise in her work. Her first collection of short stories, Monkeys, was shocking to see in print because it seemed to take on a life of its own. They discuss her novels Evening and Folly, how she sets up her stories, and the difference between writing short stories and novels.
