Author Jeanette Winterson ("Weight: The Myth of Atlas and Heracles") and hip-hop playwright Will Power are interviewed. Winterson discusses growing up in a Pentecostal household; why she left home; and the power of the written word to heal the heart. Other topics include her decision to write about Atlas and Heracles; and the different ways of arriving at truth. Power weighs in on fate, and whether people are destined to repeat the mistakes of their forebears.
