Amy Knox Brown is the author of Three Versions of the Truth, a collection of short stories published by Press 53 in 2007. It’s a remarkable collection with a great concept–it combines contemporary short stories with flashes of fictionalized history. While all of the stories in Three Versions take place in or near Lincoln, Nebraska, the issues the characters deal with, including those of place, transcend the mid-west. For me, Amy captures perfectly what it means to be from some place that isn’t so easy to escape.

I recently had the pleasure of interviewing her about Three Versions of the Truth. The interview appears in this month’s Bookslut. Check it out. Clicky-click. And for those of you interested in Amy’s work, be sure to check out her poetry chapbook, Advice from Household Gods, forthcoming from Longleaf Press in mid-September.
