Alcatraz Island, vaudeville, and immigration all emerge as subject matter in Kristina McMorris's latest novel, The Edge of Lost. So we could not resist bringing her in for an interview.
The novel concerns the disappearance of a child living on Alcatraz when it was a prison, and the life and journey of an Irish vaudevillian emigrating to America. McMorris joins us to talk about this and her previous three novels, all critically acclaimed.
