Brotherly Love
listen:
  Thomas Christopher Greene's new novel is a modern telling of the Cain and Abel story that takes place in a restaurant. It's called I’ll Never be Long Gone, and it looks at how a family-owned restaurant shapes the destiny of three generations of men in one family and how the business affects their relationships as fathers, sons and brothers. Tonight's show also includes a radio piece by producer Jay Allison. He tells the tale of the relationship between his father and his father's mentally retarded brother. The piece comes to us via the website PRX.org. You can listen to the story (and comment on it) by clicking here.

So glad you had this interview. I loved Greene's Mirror Lake and had wondered if he was working on a new novel. Thanks for calling attention to this wonderful new writer.
We're glad you enjoyed the interview, Samantha. It was great to have Thomas on the show. You know, it can often be difficult to put together radio interviews based on fiction because those who haven't read the book may not be able to follow the thread. But Thomas' book was based on lots of concepts that were bigger than the plot itself, which made it interesting to hear him talk about it.
