Alice Martin, Assistant Professor of English and debut novelist, discusses her novel Westward Women. She reads the prologue and explains the recurring 'itch' motif. She talks about using second-person interstitials, shaping plot through revision, why the 1970s setting matters, and reimagining the Western with three narrators and the enigmatic figure called the Piper.
