Jon Wynn on writing fiction
Update: 2025-05-10
Description
In this episode we are joined by Jonathan Wynn, Professor of Sociology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Jon joins us to discuss The Set Up, his debut work of fiction that both thrills and educates. Jon shares his experience writing a work of fiction, reflects on how theorists including W.E.B. Du Bois and Erving Goffman (as well as George R.R. Martin and the Magic Tree House book series) inspired and found their way into his novel, and reminds us of the rich and under-appreciated history of sociologists writing fiction.
