Jarred McGinnis
In Conversation with Sarah Hall
Jarred McGinnis was born to a Southern US clan where masculinity, resilience and physical violence were intertwined. He discusses the legends, secrets and scars that shaped his family line with novelist Sarah Hall. He also considers the impact of the near-fatal accident that left him in a wheelchair, his work and his loves within the context of care and of the particular vulnerability that comes from being a parent with a disability.
With a PHD in artificial intelligence, Jarred McGinnis is co-founder of The Special Relationship and an associate writer for Spread the Word, a fellow of the London Library Emerging Writers Programme.
