    Nog (Two Dollar Radio);

    Flats / Quake (Two Dollar Radio)

    In this first of two interviews, Wurlitzer takes us time-traveling back to the late 1960's when Nog was published and his first screen plays (Two Lane Blacktop, Glen and Randa) found their way onto the screen. These strange and surreal works prompt a conversation about the sixties and the attitudes toward art and literature prevalent in those times. (Part II)

    Read an excerpt from Nog. Read an excerpt from Quake.
