This video, part one of four from the 2009 Sunday Book & Author Breakfast, features Pete Dexter, a National Book Award winner for his book Paris Trout. Dexter’s upcoming novel, Spooner, will be released in September 2009.
Dexter is introduced by Master of Ceremonies Joe Scarborough, author of The Last Best Hope: Restoring Conservatism and America’s Promise.
Well, Pete the man, speaks in the same ‘voice’ as his writing! Great to hear him.
Have just read ‘Spooner’ and loved it all. We read so many books which we are told are funny, which hardly raise a smile in the reading. ‘Spooner’ actually made me shake with laughter over and over.FM
P.S. I have just finished a book review on ‘Spooner’. Unfortunately my newspaper limited my review space, so sorry, Pete, I had to leave out a lot more of this amazing tale than I wished.
