Outriders: Bonnie Jo Campbell & Jenni Fagan (2017 Event)

USA: FROM THE RUST BELT TO SILICON VALLEY



As part of our project to explore the Americas, short story writer Bonnie Jo Campbell travelled across her home country with Scottish novelist and poet Jenni Fagan. The two writers started in derelict Detroit, then visited a tented city in Chicago and the Tesla car factory in California’s Silicon Valley, meeting a vast array of extraordinary people along the way. Today they share some of their unforgettable experiences, and some of the writing inspired by the journey.
