Episode Synopsis

This week’s guest is bestselling author Robert Dinsdale. Rob’s latest novel “Paris by Starlight” is a beautiful work of magical realism that has been likened to the work of Neil Gaiman and Erin Morgenstern. In it, the Paris we know and love, with its citizens living by day, transforms with the arrival of the People, people who have been exiled from their homeland, who live by night.In our conversation, Rob discusses why Paris lends itself to magical realism, the fleeting nature of beauty, and what to make of the idea that “if you don’t look after what belongs to you, somebody else just comes along and takes it.” Then, he treats us to a reading from “Paris by Starlight.”https://twitter.com/Robert_DinsdaleJoin our Book Club: patreon.com/parisundergroundradioFind Us OnlineWebsite: https://www.parisundergroundradio.com/storytimeinparisFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/parisundergroundradioInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/parisundergroundradio/CreditsHost and Producer: Jennifer Geraghty.
