Candlepin Bowling with Elizabeth McCracken

February 14, 2019

“When I think about it, I was really raised by independent bookstores,” Elizabeth McCracken tells Ann Patchett in a new interview for Patchett’s bookstore, Parnassus Books. The two authors discuss bowling, multi-generational novels, and all-nighters. You can read an excerpt from McCracken’s latest novel, Bowlaway, in a recent Featured Fiction post.
