Fiction Talks features exclusive talks taken from our vast archive and new interviews with celebrated writers, bringing you the thoughts, feelings, and advice of great authors from the world of fiction. The Center for Fiction is the only nonprofit literary organization in the U.S. solely dedicated to celebrating fiction.
