Today Jonathan and Gary spend some time talking to Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck, who write together as “James S.A. Corey”, about what they’ve been reading, what they’d recommend, their seasonal reading and viewing, and their upcoming new novel, The Faith of Beasts.
We also touch upon progress on Daniel’s third Kithamar novel and their ongoing project to write an entirely new novel right before your very eyes: James SA Corey writes a novel.
As always, our thanks to Daniel and Ty for making the time to talk to us. We hope you enjoy the episode.
As both the Advent Calendar and the year move slowly towards a close, Gary and Jonathan chat with Francis Spufford, author of Golden Hill, Light Perpetual, and the wonderful Cahokia Jazz about what he’s been reading, what he’d recommend, his holiday reading traditions and his incredible novel, Nonesuch.
