Black Mountain Institute (BMI) Podcast #21: The Imagination in Exile - 04/02/08

from Black Mountain Institute Podcast · host Studio Hyperset, Inc.

Black Mountain Institute (BMI) Podcast #21: Black Mountain Fellows Tom Bissell, Donna Hemans, and Josip Novakovich discuss writing about places an author doesn't reside and the influence of national identity on the creative imagination. Bissell's acclaimed memoir, _The Father of All Things_, contrasts today's Vietnam with that of the 1970s; Hemans' provocative _River Woman_ shows Jamaica and New York in a fresh perspective; and Novakovich's darkly humorous _April Fool's_ Day paints an absurdist picture of the Balkans since 1948. BMI Associate Director Richard Wiley moderates.
