In an interview published this morning in the San Francisco Chronicle Magazine, acclaimed Bay Area author, journalist and Vanity Fair correspondent William Langewiesche says right now is the golden age of nonfiction. “This is where the real writing is going on,” he tells writer Dorsey Kindler. “There are very few good novels being written.

Upcoming media appearance: Money Matters Radio Network

I will be appearing on The Daily Bear radio program this Wednesday, Nov. 14 at 11:20am ET, 8:20am PT on The Money Matters Radio Network. Topic is how film and television often reflects the values of our times; among other things, we’ll discuss the dark themes of certain cable shows like Dexter and Californication, and what, if any, trend that indicates for the future.

The Daily Bear originates from WBNW-AM in Boston and is syndicated on about ten other terrestrial stations throughout Massachusetts. The show is also streamed live at www.moneymattersradio.net. I’ll hope you’ll tune in.
