"It seems to me that almost everybody in Kentucky has a background that is worth fiction: how they got here, why they stayed, what happened on the way," she said. "I think that's one reason Kentucky is so rich in writers. It's both the people who live here, and it's the landscape. You drive down the roads, and you see history. People want to write about their own history or their parents' history, or they know a story they've been told. It's a storytelling place."
