\"Lyn<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s time for a new episode of The Virtual Memories Show!<\/p>\n

In this one, guest Lyn Ballard<\/strong> talks about her gateway books, the metaphysical poets, reading Huck Finn<\/em> at the age of 5, an embarrassing Stanley Elkin anecdote, the murder of Sir Thomas Overbury, the importance of making literary pilgrimages, and more!<\/p>\n

This is part 1 of The Bat Mitzvah Tapes<\/em>, recorded during our St. Louis trip in August for my niece’s bat mitzvah. Next week, I’ll post a pretty wide-ranging interview with her dad (my brother Boaz), in which I reveal the key to just about all of Quentin Tarantino’s movies.<\/p>\n
