Well this should be interesting. Mark Sarvas, who’s been doing the L.A. Times Book Review Thumbnail on his blog, The Elegant Variation, will be on an open source radio show with Steve Wasserman, outgoing editor of the review. Kevin Smokler will also be a guest, so it should make for a very interesting show. You can stream it live here at 4 pm Pacific time.
Or you can listen to Bookworm on KCRW, where Michael Silverblatt will be hosting a show on Asian identity in writing, with guests Don Lee, Susan Choi, and Maxine Hong Kingston. You can stream it live here at 2:30 pm Pacific time.
