Join us on Accents Radio as Katerina sits down with novelist and journalist Roy Hoffman.
Originally from Mobile, Alabama, Hoffman spent twenty years in New York City where he “wrote articles and reviews for numerous publications, penned speeches for the president of NYU and the governor and first lady of New York, and taught workshops at NYU’s School of Professional Studies” (source). He currently lives in Fairhope, Alabama.
His novels are Chicken Dreaming Corn (University of Georgia Press, 2004) and Almost Family (Dial, 1983; University of Alabama Press reprint, 2000), and his latest book, Alabama Afternoons: Profiles and Conversations, (University of Alabama Press, 2011), is a “collection of portraits of many remarkable Alabamians, famous and obscure” (source) and collects a series of Sunday features from the Mobile Press-Register, where Hoffman was a longtime staff writer.
As a talented writer of various forms and an experienced educator, Hoffman will no doubt have some insight to share, so don’t forget to tune in at 2pm on WRFL 88.1.
