Author & photographer Kipp Friedman<\/a> checks in from Milwaukee, hours after the death of his father, the great writer Bruce Jay Friedman<\/a>. We trade stories about BJF, but first we talk about how Kipp has been coping with pandemic life, and how, with his bar\/bat mitzvah photography business<\/a> on hiatus, Kipp has returned to a novel he began a few yeas ago about his time as a newspaper reporter in FL in the ’80s. He also gets into how teaching tennis manages to keep him occupied while letting him keep appropriate social distance, the advantages of having a live-in chef (his son moved back in and loves to cook), the joy of bingeing on Eric Ambler novels and the Criterion Collection streaming service, and more. Give it a listen!<\/a> And go read Barracuda In The Attic<\/a>!<\/p>\n
