New York based writer Patrick Ryan has recently published his debut novel Buckeye to high praise, including from beloved literary prize-winner Anne Patchett.
Ryan's previously written three books for young adults and a collection of short stories. He's the editor of the American literary magazine One Story.
His novel Buckeye is a family saga about two couples in the fictional town of Bonhomie, Ohio whose lives become intertwined after a secret born from a moment of celebration in 1945.
He speaks with Susie Ferguson about the multi-generational saga that's been described as a dazzling portrait of the human spirit.
