Missing one cohost (medically excused from action; foot injury) the two of us soldier on, and decide to visit the neighbors' goats. Will they bleat? Will we get some bleating on tape?

At Night We Walk In Circles (Riverhead Books) Join us tonight for a sensational reading from a writer the Minneapolis Star says "like witnessing the arrival of a John Steinbeck or Gabriel Garcia Marquez." Set in an unnamed, South American country in the aftermath of war, At Night We Walk In Circles shares the tone and masterful prose of the work of Roberto Bolaño, and is driven by a suspenseful plot that makes it impossible to put down. The story centers around a young actor, Nelson, who becomes a part of a radical guerilla theater troupe he's long aspired to join. Nelson becomes hopelessly entangled with the group and we learn about Nelson's rise and downfall through the investigation of our narrator, a man obsessed with uncovering Nelson's mysterious story. In sharp, vivid and beautiful prose, Alarcón delivers a compulsively readable narrative and a provocative meditation on fate, identity, and the large consequences that can result from even our smallest choices. DANIEL ALARCÓN is author of War by Candlelight, a finalist for the 2005 PEN-Hemingway Award, and Lost City Radio, named a Best Novel of the Year by the San Francisco Chronicle and the Washington Post, among others. His writing has appeared in McSweeney's, n+1, and Harper's, and he has been named one of The New Yorker's 20 under 40. He lives in San Francisco, California.

We dedicate this episode to Peru, with interviews on culture, art and fashion celebrities. Pamela Gonzalez, fashion designer, Tania Libertad, singer and Daniel Alarcon, writer.
