S5.1: Walter Chaw: Memory Kingdoms, the Terror of Anti-Asian Violence & Strength in Struggling

I wish I could properly tell you how much I enjoyed doing this episode.

I say that about every episode and I’m never lying.

It seems like no matter what, it just gets better.

This episode with my dear wonderful friend Walter Chaw is a little longer than usual but I don’t think you’ll feel it. And it officially marks the 4th year that Archivist’s Alley has been “on the air.” So I think that’s pretty cool.

I plan on having Walter on again. We barely touched the surface of so many things. But I hope that you enjoyed this episode and that you look out and read his work as it is published.

There are very few critics that I read anymore (some of the reasons we talk about in this podcast). But I will always read Walter’s work and highly recommend you do the same. Whether you agree with him or not, the writing is solid and brilliant and that’s about as rare as jackalopes.

As usual, bio and links under the episode. AND THERE ARE SOME REALLY AWESOME LINKS, y’all!!!


Bio:
