A Baltimore Sun Interview with New Novelist Susi Wyss

The Baltimore Sun blog Read Street recently interviewed featured author Susi Wyss about her debut novel, "The Civilized World: A Novel in Stories."

Blogger Rosalia Scalia describes the novel as one that "follows a cast of middle class characters who are refreshing and vibrant with astonishing names such as Grief, Comfort and Why as they navigate much of the same terrain as their western counterparts: relationships, connections, loss, love, sorrow, and forgiveness."

In the post, Wyss talks about why she wrote the book, the origin of her characters' unusual names, and details surrounding individual stories.
