Ep. 67: Rita Bullwinkel & Dick Scanlan

The realization that distance will always be present in even the most connected of people is one of the recurring themes in Rita Bullwinkel's spectacular debut story collection, BELLY UP (out now from A STRANGE OBJECT). Rita and James talk about spanning the real and the unreal, finding balance in sequencing, and loving stories where characters have tools to leave their bodies. Plus Dick Scanlan on RENASCENCE, the new musical featuring the poetry of Edna St. Vincent Millay.
