Description
Zibby interviews debut author Taylor Koekkoek (along with his wife and upcoming Zibby Books author Joselyn Takacs!) about Thrillville, USA, a raw and remarkable story collection about Americans living on the margins of society, seeking solace in drugs, booze, and self-destructive relationships. Taylor describes his sources of inspiration (like dangerous, ramshackle amusement parks and his friends’ unfortunate life experiences) and reveals his ultimate goal: writing about people who are struggling with the utmost generosity. Then, he shares how he met Joselyn and how he became a writer–the stories go hand in hand. Finally, Joselyn gives us a sneak peek of her own novel Pearce Oysters (Zibby Books, 2024).
