Listen "Author Interview Series: Michael Winkler"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textWe're changing it up this episode, with Reuben conducting the first of our author interview series. Each season of the podcast we'll be doing a one-on-one, deep dive discussion with an author we think you should read. For the inaugural interview, we've chosen Michael Winkler, author of the "exploded novel," Grimmish. This is a daring, challenging, and odd book that narrativises the life of Italian-American boxer, Joe Grim, and his tour of Australia in 1908-1909. But it's also so much more than that. Reuben and Michael discuss boxing, pain, masculinity, experimental literature, and the timidity of Australian publishing.
