I am very pleased to announce the Longreads release of a mini-course about empathy that began as a talk I delivered in June 2017 at Pacific University’s MFA in Writing Program: “Between the Wolf in the Tall Grass and the Wolf in the Tall Story.” This was a collaboration with the psychologist Paul Bloom, author of Against Empathy; Daniel Raeburn, who wrote the glorious memoir Vessels; and William Gatewood, who originally heard the talk as a Pacific student. My many thanks go out to them and our editor at Longreads, Krista Stevens.
