Like so many authors who have released books during the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent quarantine, Phil Klay is disappointed that he hasn’t gotten to interact personally with his readers.
Learning firsthand what his readers think is “one of the really delightful things” about writing books, says Klay, an associate professor in Fairfield University’s master of the fine arts in creative writing program.
However, Klay’s debut novel, “Missionaries,” released in October, received some positive feedback from a very special reader.
“Missionaries” which uses interlocking stories of four characters to tell a story of civil war in Colombia was chosen by former President Barack Obama as one of his favorite books of 2020. It’s the second time Obama has picked one of Klay’s books for his personal top 10, but the experience doesn’t get old.
