An Interview with Elizabeth McCracken and Ann Patchett

They also took questions from students of VCU's MFA Program in Creative Writing. The conversation ranged from their first meeting at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, to their current relationship as writers, to the different ways in which they approach their writing.
