Author Matthew Roberson stops by Keep Your Voice Down to discuss his forthcoming novel “Interim,” set to be released in March, and all things writing. Doug, Alek, and Matt talk process, influence, young writers’ dependence on film, television, and video games in lieu of reading literature, and Central Michigan University, where Matt teaches creative writing.
Roberson is the author of four novels including “1998.6,” “Impotent,” “List,” and “Interim.” He also edited the collection “Musing the Mosaic: Approaches to Ronald Sukenick” from SUNY Press. His short fiction has appeared in Fourteen Hills, Fiction International, Clackamas Literary Review, Western Humanities Review, Notre Dame Review, McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, and others.
The show’s theme is “Howling at the Moon” by D Fine Us, and this week’s outro music is “DuDa” by Ian Post. You can support Keep Your Voice Down with a donation here.
Keep Your Voice Down is a podcast featuring fellow Central Michigan University journalism grads and best friends Alek Haak-Frost and Doug Sears, Jr.
