I do believe Mazzucchelli won this round! But I shall have my revenge. Some day. Anyhow, here is the audio recording of our conversation. A good time was had by all. Thanks to MoCCA for asking us to do this and for putting on a great night. Click below to stream.

I don't think it needs a password, does it? Anyone else having trouble?
that link isn't working for me either
It works fine for me.
I read the book yesterday and it was just brilliant and very moving. I then followed it by listening to the interview last night. I would have loved to hear David talk about the color symbolism, the significance of the shape of Asterio's head, and all the other wonderful formal aspects of the book, but I can understand if he doesn't want to discuss it. The reader has to bring something of their own to the experience.
any chance for a downloadable version that isn't half a gig? i generally listen to these kinds of things while on the road. 🙂
