Mending What is Broken by Robert McKean

An email conversation, arranged with publicist Caitlin Hamilton Summie, about his new novel, craft and his recurring fictional setting.

Set in Ganaego, an invented Western Pennsylvania mill town, it follows Peter Sanguedolce, a former business owner weighed down by remorse, alongside a second story about Jacob Weiner and his estranged daughter that echoes The Merchant of Venice.
