Ralph Nader talks with the Real News Network about Only The Super-Rich
July 16, 2010
NADER: Now, super-rich people give a lot to charity. This isn’t charity. This is justice. This is shift the power. This is going after the causes of hunger, not soup kitchens. And that’s going to take a while, that kind of move, because, you know, years ago the rich just gave to their churches, and then they started giving to their own foundations—Ford, Rockefeller, Carnegie. Now we have to move them into the justice arena.
JAY: But some people have suggested that this is a bit of you getting pessimistic or giving up on a people’s movement.
NADER: Well, partly it’s a recognition that justice needs money. — from the Real News Network interview with Ralph Nader on “Only the Super-Rich Can Save Us!”

Barry Gifford interviewed in BOMB
June 22, 2010
BOMB: Sailor and Lula, by the number of appearances they’ve made in your fiction, have become a Balzac-like way to connect your fictional universe. What is it about them that won’t let you let go?
Barry Gifford: Sailor and Lula entered my life talking and perhaps they’ll never stop. After Bad Day for the Leopard Man I thought I was finished but 15 years later I wrote The Imagination of the Heart, giving Lula the last word, even though it comes from her friend Bean Thorn. Perhaps it will be. I don’t promise anything. Someone wrote once in a review about them that if a writer is lucky, characters like this come along once in a lifetime. I consider myself lucky.

China Daily on Leonard Miller and Racing While Black
June 3, 2010
Leonard Miller, a pilot for United Airlines, has a life worth knowing about. Miller is the author of Racing While Black, a book chronicling his experience owning the first, and so far only, NASCAR team run by African Americans.
… “We came out of nowhere,” Miller said. “And it looked like we were taking away their thunder and their sport. Everywhere we went, they viewed it as, ‘Here we go again, if we let African Americans get involved in this, the sport will get away from us, like what happened with golf and tennis.’ It upset a lot of people.” — China Daily

Newly posted on ArtonAir.org, here’s Phong Bui’s 2009 interview with Seven Stories Press publisher Dan Simon, as described thus:

Acts of political and literary bravery have defined Simon’s career, as is made plainly evident here (67 minutes).Click here to listen in either m3u format, or with RealPlayer.

Barry Gifford on the Bat Segundo Show
May 17, 2010
BARRY GIFFORD: I mean, in one sense, yes, we’re all subject to all of the things that have come before, to our upbringing, and to all these things that I mentioned. The key is: How do you deal with them? How do you assert yourself? How do you retain some semblance of control over your own life?
… That’s what Perdita Durango is mainly about. Now nobody had a worse childhood than Perdita Durango. She’s definitely — if anybody could be called a victimized person. It laid out her life for her. And what does she try to do? She’s trying to control her own existence. She’s fighting for her life. And that’s the theme that I always felt with Perdita. I love Perdita. I mean, she’s crazy and she’s dangerous. But I love her.
