The Marketplace of Ideas had an interesting interview with the editor of the Quarterly Conversation. I do writer for it a few times a year, but I also thought the interview touched on some interesting things in writing and appreciating literature, especially how the non academics fit in with literary criticism.

Colin Marshall talks to critic Scott Esposito, blogger at Conversational Reading, editor of The Quarterly Conversation, and marketing coordinator at the Center for the Art of Translation. A lover and promoter of today’s most interesting fiction, Esposito writes about fiction at the intersection of the experimental and the international. This conversation took place at the Association of Writers and Writing Programs’ 2011 conference in Washington, D.C.
