Ethan Chatagnier

Today, Ethan Chatagnier discusses his debut novel, bending genres, finding his way to a novel he could complete, doing just enough but not too much research, getting owned by copy editors, and more!   A Pushcart Prize winner, Ethan Chatagnier’s stories have appeared in the Kenyon Review, Georgia Review, and New England Review, and been listed as notable in The Best American Short Stories. He is the author of the story collection Warnings from the Future and lives in Fresno, California, with his family. His new novel is Singer Distance, a propulsive, genre-bending debut novel that asks: what happens when we discover intelligent life just next door? And what does it really mean to know we’re not alone in the universe?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
