Hey, where is this?

I'm like this.

Hey folks, welcome to the Other People Show, a weekly program featuring in-depth interviews with today's leading writers.

I am Brad Listy, and I'm in Los Angeles.

So my guest today is Kevin Berry, author of a novel called The Heart in Winter.

What I'm trying to make with my stories and books is an experience for the reader that's qualitatively different from watching some bullshit on Netflix or some movie or whatever

it is. That's an extremely intense experience where you need to put all your devices away

and be in a room alone with this book and be transported. I really love the idea lately of a shorter

novel as well, I must say. I love the idea of like a three or four hour novel where you can just say it and go, this is novel night. I'm going to read this thing. And you're going to do it in a in a, in a, in a, in a, in a water. You're going to do it in a city. I like that idea. Okay, that was Kevin Barry. His new novel is called The Heart in Winter.

And it is available from Doubleday.

The Heart in Winter is Kevin Barry's first novel set in the United States of America.

It is a romantic tale, a darkly romantic tale of two young lovers on the run in 1890s, Frontier Montana.

This is a beautifully written, richly evocative novel.

And I loved reading it. And I had a great conversation with Kevin Barry that is coming up in just a

couple of minutes a reminder before we get started that I have a weekly email newsletter you can

subscribe over at substack also if you are a regular listener of this program if you get something

from it and you want to help me continue this long project of mine.

I hope you will consider joining the other people Patreon community over at patreon.com slash other ppl pod.

Help keep this show going into the future.
