A Conversation with Daniel Mason

His newest book A Registry Of My Passage Upon the Earth (2020) has been awarded the Simpson Library Project Joyce Carol Oates Prize and the Northern California Book Award for fiction. His short stories and essays have appeared in The Atlantic, Harper’s, Zoetrope, and Lapham’s Quarterly. In 2014, he was the recipient of a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts.
Daniel Mason is an Assistant Professor in the Stanford University Department of Psychiatry. His research and teaching interests include the subjective experience of mental illness and the influence of literature, history and culture on the practice of medicine.
Daniel will be in conversation with Diane Del Signore, Executive Director of the Simpson Literary Project. Diane has been actively involved with nonprofit boards devoted to the arts, education and community health over her entire professional career. Beyond that, Diane is an urban farmer, raising goats, chickens and rabbits.
Copies of Daniel Mason’s latest book are available at the Pegasus Book stores on Shattuck and Solano and at Mrs. Dalloway’s bookstore on College Avenue.
“Daniel Mason has quietly emerged as one of the finest prose stylists in American fiction.”— New York Times Magazine
