Next Week • Academy Award winning actor, director, writer, and producer Casey Affleck joins his friend Jim Shepard (The World to Come, The Book of Aron) to discuss Shepard’s work and his latest collection of short stories, THE QUEEN OF BAD INFLUENCES. THE QUEEN OF BAD INFLUENCES includes twelve compressed masterworks from this great American writer of catastrophe fiction, in which lives are upended as much by broken hearts as by collapsing dams, hideously mismanaged wars, gargantuan wildfires, and apocalyptic storms
