Tk With James Scott

Daniel Torday makes a triumphant return to talk about his new novel, BOOMER1. He and James chat about creating the world around the book, reinventing like Dylan, aspiring to anti-lyricism, and getting excited about liking stuff. They try to parse out a comic novel vs. a funny one and what constitutes satire. Plus, Emory Harkins discusses the mobile and now brick-and-mortar book store he co-founded and co-owns with Alexa Trembly, Twenty Stories.   - Daniel Torday: http://www.danieltorday.com/ Daniel and James Discuss:  David Crosby  THE RUMPUS  "Pretty Polly"  Fleet Foxes  Dirty Projectors  Dr. Dog  WXPM  "Superstitious" by Stevie Wonder  The Velvet Underground  PASTORALIA by George Saunders  MAGIC FOR BEGINNERS by Kelly Link  Junot Diaz  Karen Russell  David Foster Wallace  Flannery O'Connor  Bob Dylan William Faulkner  THE ADVENTURES OF AUGIE MARCH by Saul Bellow  SEIZE THE DAY by Saul Bellow INFINITE JEST by David Foster Wallace  John Updike  Philip Roth  Netflix  TREE OF SMOKE by Denis Johnson  JESUS' SON
