Grace Spulak Interviewed by Literary Hub

We want to extend our thanks to Literary Hub for publishing and to Rachel León for the great conversation with AHP author Grace Spulak about her collection, Magdalena Is Brighter Than You Think. With a shared background in fiction writing and child welfare, Rachel and Grace’s conversation explores the relationship between storytelling and the uneasy reality of social work.

I feel that the heaviness is one of the reasons I turn to fiction. Fiction offers so many possibilities that I often could not offer to my clients and that I feel our current judicial system also cannot offer. And fiction offers a way to interrogate some of the heaviness and how it might be caused by our systems.
