The Great Eastern with Howard A. Rodman

Happy 51st episode, How Do You Like it So Far? fans! We’ve got a great one in store for you for our last podcast of the season! (We know, but we’ll be back before you know it). This week we welcome Howard A. Rodman, Professor at the USC School of Cinematic Arts, screenwriter, novelist, labor organizer and author of The Great Eastern. In his new book, Rodman pits two of the greatest anti-heroes of 19th century literature, Captain Nemo and Captain Ahab, against each other in a thrilling and inventive story. Through his astounding novel, Rodman draws inspiration from classic literature of the 19th century from Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea to Herman Melville’s Moby Dick to create a work of fiction that speaks to today’s culture. Looking for some good book recommendations for this holiday season? Take a look at our episode notes for books Rodman and Henry discuss. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Share your thoughts via Twitter with Henry, Colin and the How Do You Like It So Far? account!
