Regular Friday Morning Coffee host Caitlin Malcuit has the week off, so fill-in host Daniel Ford starts the show by recommending Dreyer's English by Benjamin Dreyer if you're in need of grammar help or inspiration. Dreyer, retired managing editor and copy chief at Random House, also appeared on Daniel Paisner's As Told To podcast in Episode 80, which Ford also highly recommends.
Author Marguerite Sheffer then chats with Ford about her short story collection The Man in the Banana Trees, available from University of Iowa Press.
“I love causing stress and anguish with my short stories. Short stories as a form are just the best. They make me braver and more able to be experimental. They let me take big swings in really small spaces.”
