Writers on Record

I talk with Andrew Malan Milward, a native of Lawrence, Kansas, and a graduate of the Iowa Writers' Workshop. He has published fiction in places such as The Southern Review and Best New American Voices. His first novel, The Agriculture Hall of Fame, was awarded the Juniper Prize in Fiction in 2012. He has served as the McCreight Fiction Fellow as the University of Wisconsin and a Steinbeck Fellow at San Jose State University. He currently resides in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, where he teaches at the University of Southern Mississippi's Center for Writers and is editor-in-chief of the Mississippi Review. His newest short story collection, I was a Revolutionary, explores questions of history, race, and identity. Taking place in his home state of Kansas, the stories span from the Civil War era to the present, showcasing an impressive cast of characters, each complex and unique as they navigate the war torn and haunted terrain of the Kansas landscape.
