Michael talks with Amy Fusselman about releasing a book, harboring a secret in childhood that created a belief in writing, becoming comfortable sharing personal work, the story of Ohio Edit and other publishing projects, accidental humor in her first four books on challenging topics, writing humor on purpose and trying stand-up, her first novel THE MEANS, the personal seeds of fictional invention, making bold moves on the page without apology, call backs and threading, lists, and much more.
Amy Fusselman is the author of five books. Her latest, The Means, is her first novel. Her previous four books, all nonfiction, have been translated into several languages. Her articles and essays have appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, The Washington Post, and many other places. She lives in New York City with her family and teaches creative writing at NYU.
