Join Lacy Crawford and I as we talk about my book and her book, Notes on a Silencing, and how both texts hinge on unbroken and debilitating silences, toxic environments, and the legacy of class.

Lacy Crawford is the author of fiction and nonfiction, including the satire Early Decision (Morrow, 2013) and the memoir Notes on a Silencing (Little Brown, 2020), a New York Times Editors’ Choice that was named best of summer by Time, People, and Real Simple. Her literary journalism includes interviews and profiles of Frank Conroy, Reynolds Price, Geoffrey Wolff, and Shirley Hazzard. Her work has appeared in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Narrative, LitHub, Vanity Fair, and elsewhere. She lives in California with her husband and three children.

I reviewed Lacy’s book, Notes on a Silencing, for the Sunday Boston Globe in July 2020.
