Centrum's Artistic Director for Writing Cristina García recently interviewed novelist Micheline Aharonian Marcom (pictured), the author of four novels: “Three Apples Fell from Heaven,” “The Daydreaming Boy," “The Mirror in the Well,” and “Draining the Sea.”

Marcom will be leading a generative fiction-writing workshop at the 2010 Port Townsend Writers' Conference.

Among the many topics highlighted in this wide-ranging interview: how Marcom starts books, the role of the Armenian Genocide in her work, and multi-narrative storytelling.
