Hi, Joyce.
Hi.
So you did the podcast about five years ago, and at that point, you chose a story by Eudora Welty called where is the voice coming from?
Which was about a white southerner who kills a black civil rights leader.
This time you chose Cynthia Ozicks, the Shawl, which is a Holocaust story.
And both of these stories are set, you know, very sort of iconic moments in history.
Do you think that they work in similar ways as fiction?
