Author and Writer’s Bone contributing editor David Joy talks to Daniel Ford about his accelerated writing process for his new novel The Weight of This World (out today and reviewed in March's "Books That Should Be On Your Radar!"), what he learned from the success of his debut Where All the Light Tends To Go, and why Appalachia is so misunderstood.
