From the Western Thought archive a conversation about an author who hasn't been in style for decades - but is arguably one of the most interesting prose stylists to have ever lived. Jonah had a love affair with Brodkey and as such, during this conversation, is probably a bit overly denigrating due to the feelings once held so convincingly. This conversation is from the early second year of the podcast where Jonah could still talk Will into closing the store and sitting in the back where there's less traffic noise. Initially never released because Jonah didn't think the content was good enough - but we've put out plenty of worse shows since. Give Brodkey a google and come to sit in the bookstore for a while.
