Nathaniel Hawthorne Part 2: I Find the Shadowy Side of our Nature More Interesting.

In Part 2 of the 1863 conversation with Nathaniel Hawthorne, he’ll explain why he can’t seem to write while the war ravages his nation. He’ll also further demonstrate how all his writing was not doom and gloom with his story The Celestial Railroad. And he’ll tell us how Sophia, his wife, saved the day when he was fired from his job and thought he was broke.

Start episode 2 to join the conversation.
