Authors au naturel

Don Swaim has posted numerous unedited interviews recorded in the 1980's with famous authors, including Anthony Burgess (who has some troubles recalling "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"), Douglas Adams, William S. Burroughs, and many more... even Richard Nixon. (RealAudio)

Real Player or no, this looks great. Looking forward to hearing Vonnegut, Vidal, Lessing, Heller, Burroughs, Asimov, Atwood and many more. Thanks Starkeffect.

He seemed a little unprepared for the Burroughs interview. Still good though, thanks.

I mentioned this Swaim link back in November when Miguel brought up a similar site. Those interested in talking writers may want to check that out as well.

Fantastic link, thanks. Great to hear such a young Douglas Adams (the 1983 interview).
