Authors Stephen Trimble, R.E. Burrillo on Radio Book Club

The latest Radio Book Club features interviews with two authors! First (26:45) is writer Stephen Trimble, whose latest work is part-memorial, part-personal detective story. The Mike File: A Story of Grief and Hope grapples with his brother’s life, death and mental illness. Next (42:45) is writer R.E. Burrillo, who recently released The Backwoods of Everywhere: Words From a Wandering Local. The book moves through various topics related to conservation including the use – and misuse – of the word ‘local.’ Plus, the RBC hosts fit in plenty of book reviews! Including the much-anticipated latest from writer and musician Patti Smith. Tune in.
