Author Christopher Brown<\/a> checks in from the edgelands of east Austin, TX. We talk about the final edits of his upcoming novel, Failed State<\/a> (which is part of the universe of his previous novels, Tropic of Kansas<\/a> and Rule of Capture<\/a>), and how the border between dystopia and utopia are kinda permeable. We also get into his amazing weekly e-mail, Field Notes<\/a>, nature’s reclamation projects, the potential inflection point of the current moment, why he’s trying to translate German and has taken up the lute, the midwest road trip he’s planning, and more. Give it a listen!<\/a> And go read Tropic of Kansas<\/a> and Rule of Capture<\/a>, and pre-order Failed State<\/a>! (and subscribe to Field Notes<\/a>!)<\/p>\n
