Long time activist for economic and environmental justice, Chuck Collins, brings us his provocative novel of the near future, Altar to an Erupting Sun, which opens with a woman strapping a bomb to herself to blow up an oil executive. Also featured is Hannelore Krollpfeiffer’s book, We Lived in Berlin, a Story about the End of the War, finally translated into English from the original German by our guest Katrin Ciaffa. It is an undistorted look at the realities of two young women during the final days of WWII. It’s a Novel Idea with Suzanne Lang, every first, third, and fifth Sundays at 10:00 am on 104.9 FM in Sonoma County and streaming at krcb.org.
