Episode 494: Casey Scieszka on The Fountain, Tuck Everlasting and the challenge of revealing thought in action.
It’s very rare for me to demand that the readers of my #AmReading substack pre-order something. And the bar to be my “Just One Book” is high. But here we go:
The book is The Fountain—debut speculative fiction from Casey Scieszka—and you’ll want to read it, but even more, you’ll want to hear us talk about what it took to pull this big, beautiful novel from her Tuck-Everlasting-loving soul.

Casey is reading:
Open Throat by Henry Hoke (“It’s funny and deeply tender and unlike anything I’ve ever read.”
