![]() This week I’m reading Amos Tutuola’s The Palm-Wine Drinkard, and this is a 1952 Nigerian novel. Does it count if it’s for a class I’m teaching? What are you reading right now, or what is something maybe that you’ve read really recently? The relationships that came out of it were really fun, but I actually had to stop eventually because it was just so many late nights playing with the editing software, and I’m not an expert at that. It was really time-consuming to edit and publish the podcasts. I really liked being on the other side of it, getting people to talk about their work, and people talked about topics that could interest anybody, and it was just about trying people to think about books who aren’t in academia in slightly more theoretical ways. English professors have so much to offer readers around the world, but our research as we publish it doesn’t speak to them, so I’m concerned about the disconnect between academic scholarship and the huge world of readers, and the podcast was an attempt to open a conversation. So, for a few years, I went around interviewing other English professors, in the Boston area mostly, or wherever I could find them, and researched their work and asked them questions, and I just wanted to get their work out there. We are in Rabb right now, in Professor Sherman’s office, and I first wanted to ask, I know that-thank you for being a guest on our podcast today-I know that in the past, you have some experience being on the other side of the table in podcasting. I’m really lucky today to be talking to Professor David Sherman. ![]() Hi, you are listening to OpenBook, a podcast by the UDRs for English and Creative Writing in which we are getting to know members of the faculty a little bit better.
