    Episode 9: Jeanne Marie Laskas

    Jeanne Marie Laskas, author of the new book Hidden America and correspondent for GQ, interviewed by Max Linsky.

    “I’m just a writer going into [people’s lives], you know? What do you do with that kind of intensity of a relationship when you’re job is to invoke it on the page? It’s a huge…not just privilege but responsibility. Because, you know, it’s just for a story. And I tell them that: ‘I’m asking you trust me, but at the same time don’t trust me. I’m kind of like a vulture in this relationship—we’re not friends.’”
