Manage episode 440081274 series 3368632
The German occupation of Paris during World War II was a time of shifting and uncertain alliances, and life for Parisians required a bit of careful attention. Suzanne Lang talks with Aurelie Thiele, author of the historical novel, The Paris Understudy, a sweeping tale of the Paris Opera world, two rival opera singers, their struggle for success amidst Hitler and the Nazis, and their plight to save others victimized by them.
Also featured is Suzanne’s conversation with Brian Belefant on his novella The Sultan of Garbage. An Island of plastic in the Pacific Ocean and the ennui of modern life set this absurdist story in motion.
