Gil Mansergh welcomes the celebrated novelist and master of the short story, Eric Puchner as his guest on KRCB-FM’s Word By Word: Conversations With Writers show. Professor of writing seminars at Johns Hopkins, Eric includes nine stories in his Last Day On Earth collection—each falling into distincively different categories from coming-of-age to science fiction to psycho-drama.

Last months Word By Word guest, Chinese-born novelist, poet and memoirist Yi Yun Li writes the following about Eric:

"Eric Puchner is an alchemist who captures the joy and danger in everyday life and, with precision, humor, and empathy, turns these moments into gold... in an unforgettable collection from a great storyteller."
