Minnesota writer talks about writing and place

Minnesota Public Radio's special program "Writing Minnesota" features poetry and prose from around the state, and it looks at the connections between where we live and how we write.

In this excerpt, Charles Baxter told her that some book critics have negative pre-conceptions about Minnesota writers.
