(Original interview recorded in 2001)
The novelist Tom Robbins died on February 9th. He made one appearance on
the program and it almost did not occur. When I described him as the
late Tom Robbins I really meant that 24 years ago when he was still very
much alive he arrived quite late for our live interview. He was supposed
to arrive at WYSO by two o'clock. He finally showed up at 2:30. Which
made for a rather brief interview. According to his obituary in the New
York Times, he didn't do many interviews. I have to think he wasn't that
excited about doing one with me?
Well, it was worth the wait. On that steamy summer afternoon we had a
lovely chat.
The Book Nook on WYSO is presented by the Greene County Public Library with additional support from Washington-Centerville Public Library, Clark County Public Library, Dayton Metro Library, Wright Memorial Public Library, and Tipp City Public.
