The Kansas City Star recently talked with author Elizabeth Strout. In the extensive interview she offers insight into her Pulitzer Prize-winning book Olive Kitteridge and reveals why she's surprised that the cranky title character is so well-liked. She also shares why she chose small-town Maine as the setting, how the episodic format came about (it's a series of linked short stories) and what her writing routine entails.
