this quarter in being social — Parenthetical Recluse

Recording a new TSR interview tonight so I thought I’d provide a quick recap of the last quarter:

First up, Abbott Kahler and I discussed writing and selling her debut novel, WHERE YOU END, as well as her next work of narrative non-fic, THEN CAME THE DEVIL, 200-page outlines, and more: listen
Next, Christina Rice returned to wax ecstatic with me over our shared love of all things THE GODFATHER: Pacino's menace, Puzo's original novel, the underrated, the overrated, and the essential magic of James Caan's James Caan-ness: listen
In episode 0011, Justin Duke, the creator and resident plate-spinning human behind Buttondown, joined me to not only talk all things newsletters, longevity in the digital age, and what makes it all worth it, but also solved a mystery I couldn't figure out for 15 years: listen
And finally, Wallace Stroby, author of one of my favorite novels of last year, HEAVEN'S A LIE, returned to discuss my favorite film of all time, Sergio Leone's ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST, as well as the music of Ennio Morricone, the history and impact of spaghetti westerns, and OUATITW's influence on his work: listen
