Richard Brautigan meets Raymond Carver meets StretchyHead on NPR

Posted on Wednesday, December 21st, 2011 by Ian Tuttle

NPR’s San Francisco outlet, KALW, broadcasts the terrific show “Your Call.” Today’s broadcast was all about books! Kevin Hunsanger (co-owner of Green Apple Books) and Christin Evans (Owner of Booksmith) talk about their favorite books of the year.

But what’s really exciting is when Mr Hunsanger praises StretchyHead at minute 47:52…

“They’re little vignettes that are a cross between Richard Brautigan [and] Raymond Carver… This is a beautiful little book.”
