Tk With James Scott

Ian Stansel's fantastic first novel THE LAST COWBOYS OF SAN GERONIMO plays with the genre expectations of Westerns by setting the murder-revenge in northern California wine country. James and Ian discuss storytelling economy, bringing dead characters to life, horse-y literature, and conclude, "There are a lot of books." Then editor Naomi Gibbs and James discuss her career path working on 'orphaned' novels like Ian's.     - Ian and James discuss: SHOTGUN LOVESONGS by Nickolas Butler  Farrar, Straus & Giroux  Graywolf  Roxane Gay  Sherman Alexie  Cormac McCarthy  THE SISTERS BROTHERS by Patrick DeWitt  NEWS OF THE WORLD by Paulette Jiles  Louis L'Amour  Larry McMurtry  The Kentucky Book Fair  Houghton Mifflin Harcourt  BLACK BEAUTY by Anna Sewell  THE MARE by Mary Gaitskill  Dick Francis  THE WAKE OF FORGIVENESS by Bruce Machart  THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN (remake) dir by Antoine Fuqua  NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN by Cormac McCarthy  NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN (film) dir by the Coen Bros  THE GREAT GATSBY by F.
