The Study ND

What does it mean to leave home — and why do the places that formed us continue to live within us long after we’ve gone?
In a deeply reflective new essay for The Study, acclaimed novelist Larry Watson explores memory, North Dakota, and the imaginative life of a writer. In conversation with Eric Sevareid’s 1956 essay “You Can Go Home Again,” Watson reflects on the landscapes, smells, roads, rivers, and moments from childhood that continue to shape his fiction decades later.
“Because while it’s true that I left North Dakota in 1973, North Dakota has never left me.”
