Had a good 40-minute interview with Paul Edwards on Detroit radio WLQV this afternoon, talking about my Patron Saints for Postmoderns. Paul graciously posted links to the introduction and first chapter of the book, to this blog, and under “audio archives,” to the interview itself (click Oct. 15). You can find these all here. The interview starts at 68:30 in the mp3 file for the Oct. 15 show under “audio archives.” Note: the show web page doesn’t work properly with Mozilla Firefox–you’ll need to use Explorer, Chrome, or another non-Firefox browser or the audio archives section won’t show up.
