To write his novel The Death and Life of August Sweeney, Samuel Ashworth drew on experience and some very personal research—he worked in the back of Michelin-starred restaurants and assisted with autopsies in a Pittsburgh hospital. The result is an engaging novel, highly artful in conceit and execution, one his publisher, the Santa Fe Writers Project, calls “an epic novel about life, death and the world in between.” In this episode of Upstart Crow, Sam discusses where the idea came from, the research, the writing, and how he was able to pack so much into a little over 300 pages.Hosted by William Miller Check out Samuel's website, where you can purchase his book and learn more about him: https://www.samuelashworth.com/Follow Samuel on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samuelashworth/--Be sure to visit our website where you can learn more about the hosts, guests, and ways you can support the show:https://upstartcrow.org/-- Recorded and Produced by Jon D.
