Gilbert Sorrentino, Part II

Host:

Michael Silverblatt

Listen to/Watch entire show:

Our conversation with Gilbert Sorrentino continues. The great experimentalist discusses the art of parody -- in this case his recent hilarious novel Gold Fools (Green Integer Books), in which he "doctors" an old Western novel by reshaping the story into a non-stop interrogation, ultimately questioning manhood and the dream of the American West.

Listen to Part I.

Read an excerpt from Little Casino.
