All summer we’ve been inviting previous Bookable guests back to the show to talk to other authors they admire.  Well today we’re breaking the mold  because there are just too many authors we haven’t been able to get on the show--yet.  In our latest installment: Gary Shteyngart and Paul LaFarge.  Paul and Gary live in upstate New York in neighboring towns. They talk about writing and craft and living through this present moment--all while a tornado heads directly for them.
