He Woulda Hit .400 If Not For Everything
Manage episode 489221565 series 3593351
Ring Lardner's Alibi Ike is up for discussion and John will talk with author Charles Holdefer about his short story collection Ivan the Terrible Goes on a Family Picnic. We dig into the joys of historical fiction, how small-town baseball shaped Charles's storytelling, and the time Babe Ruth and Gertrude Stein swapped places in 1926.
Plus, we preview a dramatic reading of Holdefer’s short story Heaven, complete with sound effects, coming in two weeks.
