Listen "Conversation with Ron Rash"
Episode Synopsis
We talk with New York Times bestselling author Ron Rash. He is the author of Serena and Above the Waterfall, in addition to four prizewinning novels, including The Cove, One Foot in Eden, Saints at the River, and The World Made Straight.
Water runs deep in his writing and he explains how he didn't quite realize it until others started to point it out to him. He talks to us about his grandmother's farm on the Blue Ridge Parkway and the beautiful stream. He shares how his grandmother would never let him go to the spring house. The young Ron loved to catch salamanders and crayfish as a child, but she would not let him disturb the salamanders in the spring house. She felt like they were the guardian spirits of the water.
When asked about his favorite water quote, he says it is, "A river is a vein in God's arm." Powerful, right?
