Today on KCRW's Bookworm: Edward P. Jones, author of All Aunt Hagar's
Children (Amistad, $25.95, 0060557567). The show describes the
interview this way: "Edward P. Jones' magnificent new book of stories
takes up characters from his earlier collection, Lost in the City.
Minor, background characters become central; children unlearn the
lessons of their parents; time somersaults; and legends become truth.
Jones explains that he never expected to meet these characters again,
yet, here he is with a whole new book filled with them, bringing
greater depths to his capacious imagination."
