Nominator: Jessica Stockton
Nominee: Mark Binelli
Subjects Discussed: What's real and what's not real in Sacco and Vanzetti Must Die, anarchism, 20th century film references, the Coen brothers, Upton Sinclair, extemporaneous speeches, on not writing the novel chronologically, the sensation of research, knife-grinding, Buster Keaton, meat metaphors, Out of Bounds, shopping S&V around to publishers, Dalkey Archive Press, the fragmented trial scenes, and experimental fiction.
Excerpt from Show:
Binelli: When I hit on the comedy team idea, I immediately liked that. And then at some point, I can't say when, but at some point the name "Sacco and Vanzetti" just popped into my head and it was such a perfect comedy team name. Initially, it seemed so ridiculous, which it is obviously. But then the more I thought about it, the more parallels between anarchism and slapstick started to come out. And it just kind of weirdly made more and more sense. So I just decided to embrace it.
Backup Link: (MP3)
(A co-production of the LBC, Pinky's Paperhaus and The Bat Segundo Show.)
