Sometimes you meet a person who seems to have done it all – and today’s guest is definitely one of those guys. Ed Park is an American writer, journalist and general man of letters, born in New York, of Korean extraction. And, along with writing truly remarkable fiction, over the last few decades, he’s been involved with all sides of the literary sphere. We met on a rainy morning in New York City where we recorded this interview to discuss his latest book An Oral History of Atlantis, which is coming out on July 29th and well worth looking out for. He had absolutely fascinating things to say, and picked some incredible, off the beaten track books for this discussion – I know you’re going to enjoy listening to it.
