Interview: Charlotte Rogan

Charlotte Rogan is a superb writer invested in spellbinding fiction, ethics and the natural world.

January Magazine contributing editor MaryAnne Kolton recently spent some time with Rogan: both with her work and with the woman herself. Kolton reports that it was, on both counts, a rewarding experience.

The Lifeboat kept me awake at night,” Kolton writes. “The first night to read straight through to the end. It was unthinkable to drift off to sleep not knowing how the story played out. The second night to read it again, focusing on the philosophical and ethical conundrums. The harrowing tale of Grace and her fellow travelers called to me again and again.”
