(original recording made in 2000)
In 2000 I did two interviews with a Yellow Springs writer named Sherri
Szeman. We did the first one because her first novel "The Kommandant's
Mistress" had just been reissued. We did the second interview a couple
of weeks later when her second novel, "Only with the Heart" was
released. They are very different books. We had another reason for doing
the second interview so quickly; her book "The Kommandant's Mistress"
had just been optioned for a possible film adaptation by Patrick
Stewart. Listen to this interview to discover the excitement that caused
and what eventually happened with that project.
In 2005 the author changed her name to Alexandria Constantinova Szeman.
In 2013 these first two novels were reissued under that author name,
just in case you are looking for them. The original versions under her
pen name of Sherri Szeman are out of print.
