Luminarium – Best Books of 2011
Luminarium has been selected as one of the best novels of 2011 by the Kansas City Star:
“Shakar brings a host of profound concerns to this inventive, metaphysical, funny and caring novel set in post-9/11 New York City, ground zero for moral and spiritual paradoxes, in which one twin brother is in a coma and the other is desperately seeking healing and direction as the virtual world they worked so hard to create is commandeered by the ‘military-entertainment complex.’”
The Interview Show, Chicago
The Interview Show is a Web-based talk show, replete with host (the effervescent Mark Bazer), desk, a couch, theme music, and studio audience (above). Best of all, it’s held in the bar/club, The Hideout, with bands playing after, and waitresses walking through the audience keep the liquor flowing. Many thanks to Mark, my fellow guests, and Jon from Book Cellar for hawking books.
