Thomas McGuane Interview on Bob Edwards Show

February 19, 2008 By: Marshall Cutchin

Bob Edwards interviewed author, fly fisher and cutting horse devotee Thomas McGuane on XMRadio on his January 31 show. Even if you don’t have XMRadio, you can listen to a portion (and purchase the rest) of the podcast on ITunes (just go to “Podcasts” and search for McGuane), or you can buy it from Audible.com for $2.95. In the interview McGuane talks about the eastern literary establishment, writers who live in “flyover country,” and how getting bitten by a rattlesnake feels like getting whacked with a stick.
You can also read samples of McGuane’s writing on MidCurrent: “The Longest Silence” and “Foundationless Opinions” are examples of what Nick Lyons has said is some of the best fishing literature ever written.
