This PodLit episode features Natalie Goldberg, a guest at last year's 412 Creative Nonfiction Literary Festival. Natalie is the author of 10 books of poetry, fiction and nonfiction, including Writing Down the Bones: Freeing the Writer Within, which has sold over one million copies. This program takes place at the Santa Fe Writers Conference, where Natalie reads from her latest book, The Great Failure: A Bartender, A Monk, and My Unlikely Path to Truth. After her reading, Natalie engages in a candid interview with Lee Gutkind, editor and founder of Creative Nonfiction, about the powerful reactions--positive and negative--her book evoked.
