On this week’s Corks & Conversation with Michael Farris Smith episode, Christie & Cathi have an inspiring chat with this author who the New York Times calls an “intoxicating literary stylist.” Michael writes darkly poetic novels and screenplays set in his native Mississippi. He shares everything from his perfect Manhattan recipe to his take on a dystopian "reality" found is his novel, Salvage This World, which is also our GOBRecs Book of the Month.
