My old Faulkner professor from grad school is Michael Krasny, who has had me on his show for each of my books. I’m going on Forum tomorrow to talk about my memoir, A POCKET HISTORY OF SEX IN THE 20th CENTURY during the 10:00 hour. It plays again in the evening, not sure exactly when. Michael is THE most literate of any radio talk show I’ve every had the pleasure of being on, amazingly well read, also a great student of contemporary culture, who did PhD on the work of Jean Toomer and started at State teaching African American literature. This is sure to be interesting. He also knows some of the characters, either in real life or by lore, since I wrote the first of these pieces, “The Salisbury Court Reporter,” as a student as part of my thesis. It later became a chapter in my book.
Very intrigued and looking forward to the program! It is amazing how many thing Michael bring to the radio, and his professorship has been so far unkown on the air (to me at least).
I hope you will bring the history of sex and the Middle East into some kind of mutual perspective…
Thanks, I look forward to hearing you and Michael!
