“There’s no need to be modest about your ambitions or your hopes. If there is something that you want to do or something that you want to see happen in the world, move toward it one little step at a time, and you can be a part of how things change.”
Zach Williams ’02, an author and Jones Lecturer in Fiction at Stanford University, joined the Quaker Matters Podcast. In this episode, Zach discusses the importance of his WFS teachers and how they inspired him to get into the teaching profession, what he enjoys most about writing, what it’s like to get a story published in The New Yorker, and his new book titled, "Beautiful Days.”
Published this summer, “Beautiful Days” is a collection of ten short stories confronting parenthood, mortality, and life’s broken promises.
