Host Gil Mansergh has a special treat for our KRCB listening audience, as we welcome the return of the truly original writer Ben Marcus on this Word By Word: Conversations With Writers on North Bay Public Media, KRCB-FM.
Regular listeners should recall that Ben took time off from his job as a professor in Columbia University’s School of Arts a couple years ago, to share insights into the familiar yet unsettlingly different reality of the North America detailed in his spectacular novel The Flame Alphabet.
Already holding many literary awards, since we last met, Ben was awarded a 2013 Berlin Prize and a Guggenheim fellowship in fiction.
This Word By Word conversation focuses on Ben’s latest book – a collection of decidedly different short stories unlike any others you have read before. They have been gathered together under the title Leaving the Sea.
