My very first podcast, where I chat with my friend & colleague, Jolie Sheffer, about the role of mixed-race identity in fiction, the question of likeability in literature, and my two texts, AMNESIA OF JUNE BUGS & DUKKHA, MY LOVE for the ICS’s BG Ideas Podcast. If you’re into podcasts, feel free to download & listen to this. It’s the perfect way to kill time during the Apocalypse Residency, ne? As an added bonus, you’ll even get to hear me read a short excerpt from my debut novel, THE AMNESIA OF JUNE BUG. I even play piano at the very end of the podcast. I couldn’t resist, man. Every time I see a grand piano, I have to play it. I just do. It’s the never-die musician inside me.
