Talk Show

In direct contrast to the venerable Paris Review interviews, Talk Show puts contemporary writers on the late night couch and poses questions about everything except writing.  Tune in for questions and answers about first concerts, movie remakes, childhood heroes, family myths, worst jobs, first cars, road trips, generational traumas, life-changing technologies, first dates, embarrassing moments, preferred Saturday morning cartoons, irrational fears, favorite first albums and much more.

Although oftentimes irreverent and humorous, these  interviews offer remarkable insight into the authors' perspectives as well as our time.

A published author and an owner of a successful bookstore located just outside Boston, Jaime Clarke was able to earn of the trust of these artists and thus elicit several interesting and frank revelations.
