Books on the Bed Podcast

Last month, I met with Matt Sawyer in my home for an unusually long (2-1/2 hours!), free-ranging conversation about some of my favorite books for his Books on the Bed podcast. The episode posted today, and you can listen to it here or on multiple other platforms. The six books we spent the most time discussing were The Baron in the Trees by Italo Calvino, The Man Who Fell to Earth by Walter Tevis, Turtle Diary by Russell Hoban, The Cockroaches of Stay More by Donald Harington, Alan Mendelsohn, the Boy from Mars by Daniel Pinkwater, and (as a result of a randomized pick-three-numbers process) Crash by J. G. Ballard.
