The LA-based writer’s new book ‘You Have a Friend in 10A’ arrives in bookstores May 17.
Maggie Shipstead’s novel “Great Circle”
, among other honors – it’s actually a compilation of work that precedes the epic novel. Shipstead wrote “Cowboy Tango,” the first of the 10 stories in the collection, in her second year of grad school 14 years ago when she was just 24. The story “Acknowledgements” was the last one she finished, in 2017.
She says putting together a collection of old work was a relief after seven years of toiling over “Great Circle” and its complicated structure. “I mean, it was such a colossal effort and it really dominated my life for so long,” says Shipstead, who lives in Atwater Village but grew up in Orange County’s Coto de Caza neighborhood.
But life, and creativity, are hard to control. When the pandemic hit, Shipstead found herself adrift amid a few false starts on new projects.
