Bob Shacochis, author of The Immaculate Invasion, Swimming in the Volcano, and more, starts the interview by explaining his Lithuanian heritage. The interview moves away from Shacochis' life and segways in to a focused look at his writing. He initiates the point that not all writers can write both short stories and novels; some writers are destined to do one or the other and cannot successfully switch story types. Listen to that and more in this 1989 interview with Don Swaim.
