\"The-Alteration\"This month, we are joined by Nick During of NYRB Classics to discuss Kingsley Amis’s novels\u00a0The Alteration<\/em> and\u00a0The Green Man<\/em>.<\/p>\n

We do apologize to you and to Nick, though, because for some reason only half of our discussion was recorded. Brian and I did get back together a few weeks later (finding time was difficult) and did what we could to cover some of what we discussed.<\/p>\n

\"The-Green-Man\"<\/p>\n

In the Fall of 2012, NYRB Classics began a project to release new editions of ten Kingsley Amis novels, starting with his comic debut, Lucky Jim<\/em>, and his Booker Prize winning\u00a0The Old Devils<\/em>. Recently they released two more, venturing this time to Amis’s work with a science fiction\/alternate history novel in\u00a0The Alteration<\/em> and a classic ghost story in\u00a0The Green Man<\/em>.<\/p>\n

NYRB Classics published these editions of\u00a0The Alteration<\/em> and\u00a0The Green Man<\/em>\u00a0in May of 2013, and they are the books we\u2019ll be talking about in Episode 8 of The Mookse and the Gripes Podcast.<\/p>\n

In Episode 9 we will be returning to the first author we discussed on this podcast and discuss John William’s magnificent\u00a0Stoner<\/em>. If you have any thoughts on John Williams or Stoner<\/em>, we\u2019d love to hear from you via email, via comments, or via Twitter. Perhaps we can set up a Skype call to pull some sound bites of your thoughts.<\/p>\n
