John Darnielle on DEVIL HOUSE
\u201c\u2026Try reading it out loud. That's what I do. I read the whole book out loud, seven or eight times\u2026four or five times\u2026 before it ever goes to edit. I believe that writing was made to be heard.\u201d From the age of five, John Darnielle knew he was going to be a storyteller, and he\xa0joins us on the show to talk about the structure and the shifting perspectives of his new novel, Devil House, who has standing to tell a story, the difference between touring and performing as an author instead of a musician, the books he loved as a boy, why we should all be reading literature in translation and so much more. Featured Books: Devil House by John Darnielle, James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and The Magician\u2019s Nephew by C.S. Lewis, and No One is Talking About This by Patricia Lockwood. Poured Over is produced and hosted by Miwa Messer and engineered by Harry Liang.
