Episode 17: Open Book Bookstore's Lynn Rosen with a reading from Fred Arroyo

Daniel &amp; Ben talk with Fred Arroyo, author of “The Region of Lost Names” (2008) and “Western Avenue and Other Fictions” (2012).  Arroyo explains why “Western Avenue” is more of a novel told in a cycle of short stories, and why it’s a companion to “Region of Lost Names.”  He also explains why he refers to the central figures in his work as “people,” not “characters.”  Arroyo also describes how he approaches endings.  In this week’s Poem of the Week, Ben reads “The Word ‘Class’ Should Not Appear in The Poem,” from Karen Fiser’s collection, “Words Like Fate and Pain.”
