"Nice little freebie with Purchase"
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?This was an interesting interview with James Lee Burke about William Faulkner.
Would you ever listen to anything by James Lee Burke again?I may check out some of his books now.
Would you be willing to try another one of James Atlas’s performances?He was a fine interviewer.
Did Exclusive Interview: Jim Atlas with James Lee Burke on William Faulkner inspire you to do anything?Read the book I bought by Faulkner "Light in August".
Any additional comments?One great story told by Burke. A studio exec takes Faulkner and Clark Gable golfing. Gable asks Faulkner what his line of work is, "I'm a writer", says Faulkner, "What do you do, Mr. Gable?"

"Enjoyable, but far too short"
16 minutes was simply not enough. There were some interesting vignettes-- but not much more. I appreciate that Audible offers the interview for free, but it would be much more worthwhile to offer a longer format that could be more substantive. I'd like to hear more from James Lee Burke, so why not give him a full half hour?

"insightful freebie"
I just finished listening to "Light in August" by William Faulkner. Audible offered up this interview of James Lee Burke on Faulkner. Since I'm a Burke fan I thought it would be interesting to get his perspective on Faulkner as he evidently liked Faulkner's writing or why would he do an interview? "Light in August" was a thought provoking book. I thought this interview gave an interesting perspective on Faulkner, his writing and his life, and it has encouraged me to listen to another. Thanks, audible!

"I thought so"
I've read a good deal of Burke and a good deal of Faulkner and it's good to know that if I had a chance I could spend an hour or two chatting w Burke. I thought he'd be like he was in the interview. It's not a long thing. so if you've rooted for Robichaux, listen to it..
