Believe It Or Not, There Are More Podcasts Coming
In case the recent slate of podcasts wasn’t enough for you, there are still a good deal of podcasts to come very soon, including coverage of Alternative Press Expo (which includes an audio intervention with a bunch of people from the CW Television Network), an author who returns for a second appearance (and this interview is crazier than the first), and, of course, Carolyn’s interview with LBC Read This! author Alan DeNiro. Stay tuned!
BSS #114: Marshall Klimasewiski & C. Max Magee
Condition of Mr. Segundo: Vacating from vacations.
Guests: C. Max Magee and Marshall Klimasewiski
Subjects Discussed: Drawing upon compartmentalized personal experience, writing unpleasant characters, sabbaticals, maintaining an ever-shifting narrative, writing short stories vs. novels, characters stuck in environments, protracted scenes, human connection vs. work, locals vs. vacationers, John Ruskin, Charles Dodgson, co-opted misfits, and invention vs. personal experience.
EXCERPT FROM SHOW:
Klimasewiski: The odd thing for me — and I don’t know why this is — is that I found Cyrus so much easier to write, even though I don’t think I’m a writer with a really terrific memory. And so therefore I don’t have this great sense of exactly what it was like to be nineteen, or to live inside my own nineteen year old mind. And yet he was so much easier for me to write than the cottagers, who demographically are much closer to me and to people I know. Yet I had a terrible time making them seem to come alive or feel credible in some way in my mind.
