An episode from 9/7/21: Tonight, I read from an interview conducted by the Federal Writer\'s Project, with a man working the late shift at an all-night diner in Vermont. The excerpt comes from the Winter 2019 issue of Lapham\'s Quarterly, but a larger collection of WPA interviews can be found in the 2004 book, Men Against Granite.
