Abstract
Curtis Smith is a novelist and essayist who works at Etown College as the Assistant Director of Academic Advising and teaches in the English department and the First Year Seminar program. In this final episode of Season 2, Smith returns to the podcast to discuss his sixth novel, The Lost and the Blind. The novel centers on a 17-year-old boy named Mark Hayes who lives in a highly unstable family situation with a drug-addicted single mother who is often absent for long stretches of time, leaving Mark to fend for himself without many resources and very limited guidance. Some of Smith's other recent publications include the novels The Magpie's Return and Lovepain as well as the essay collection Communion.
If you are interested in purchasing The Lost and the Blind, you can find a copy in print, ebook format, or as an audiobook from most online booksellers, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Bookshop. You can also find a copy at the High Library.
