Podcastery Times 2

Podcast week part 2: this week Robert Freeman Wexler was interviewed by Rick Kleffel on Narrative Species.

Rick has been interviewing people for many years  — here’s a podcast from 2007 with me, Kelly, and Karen: News Report; Gavin Grant, Karen Joy Fowler, Kelly Link — but his enthusiasm for books still comes through along with a deep knowledge of writers, books and more. I have his recent chat with Kim Stanley Robinson lined up next.

Listen up here.

 

"Shannon, a detective working for the Llewelyn Agency out of Chicago, is recruited to find missing money intended to purchase land in Texas for refugee Romanian Jews. It seems like a straightforward job for a straightforward man. Shannon is a methodical thinker who has family in Galveston. But while his thoughts are those of a careful, entirely rational man, his dreams are not. As he becomes involved in what he calls The Silverberg Business, the weird begins edging in, first in dreams, but does not confine itself to his hours of unconsciousness. Readers will experience a similar expansion. Robert Freeman Wexler’s novel The Silverberg Business is mind-boggling in content, and in its unique ability to entertainingly take reader places they’d never expect to go."
