My interview with <a href= "https://www.nypl.org/about/awards/young-lions-fiction-award#finalists" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NYPL Young Lion/5-Under-35</a> debut author <a href="https://alexandersammartino.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alexander Sammartino</a>, on his novel <a href= "https://bookshop.org/p/books/last-acts-alexander-sammartino/20162308" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Last Acts</a>. We discussed: (1) the search for transcendence and "leaving your body" via literature; (2) father & son stories; and (3) unchecked Samuel Beckett fandom.

Episode 65: Adam Ross

The Thoughtful Bro, hosted by Mark Cecil, is a podcast for writers, readers, and anyone interested in a tale well told. Each episode features an author who's recently published a book, and we unpack how and why they wrote it. It's "Inside the Actors Studio"...but for storytellers.
