the amazing Knockemstiff
Donald Ray Pollock spent 3 decades working at the paper mill in Chillicothe. But he always wanted to be a writer. Now he is.
Pollock’s story is inspiring. So is his debut collection of short stories. He named the book KNOCKEMSTIFF. That is the name of the place where the author grew up.
I interviewed Pollock about this amazing book and his exciting new career. Listen tomorrow (Sunday-May 18) at 10:30 am on WYSO, 91.3fm to hear our conversation.
