Tonight on Bibliocracy, 8 PM on KPFK 90.7 FM in Southern California :
ALAN CHEUSE. My guest tonight is
a novelist, short story writer, essayist, anthologist and reviewer of
books. Most recently he is author of the
novels Song of Slaves in the Desert
and Paradise , or Eat Your Face. He’s also one of the voices on the radio to
whom millions listen for advice, critiques, generous appraisals,
recommendations of books. Alan Cheuse
has presented his short – famously, two minutes-long - incisive, necessary book reviews on National
Public Radio for decades, becoming a part of the history of thoughtful public broadcasting,
and establishing the taste and direction and tone of that network by way of “All
Things Considered,” where his book reviews are heard weekly. He’s a public radio and books hero --- a two-fer! --- and it was my
good luck to chat with him earlier this summer about radio, and his career as a
writer, reader and reviewer. Thanks for
listening.
