Speculating Canada on Trent Radio Episode 36: An Interview with James Moran
James Moran recently published his first novel Town and Train, a horror novel that was 20 years in the making. In this show, James discusses the inspiration for Town and Train and how the novel transformed over the years from his first version of it, written as a teenager, to his recent version. James and I discuss the role of homophobia and small town life in his novel, the notion of small towns maintaining the status quo, and the notion of home versus the desire to escape.
This is an interview by phone, so please excuse any of the distortions in the background.
