Novelist and screenwriter Jon Raymond writes in a style he calls “literary regionalism.” His short story collection “Livability” inspired Kelly Reichardt’s films “Old Joy” and “Wendy and Lucy.” His new novel, “God and Sex,” is earning wide acclaim, with The New York Times praising its “profound, ancient questions.”
