Publisher's summary

Icelandic film director Baltasar Kormakur and writer/editor Roger Angell on this edition of Fresh Air. Kormakur's been compared with Spanish film director Almodovar for his debut film, the offbeat comedy 101 Reykjavik. It's set (of course) in Iceland, and is the story of a 28-year-old slacker, his mother, and the flamenco teacher they both fall in love with. The film won the Discovery Award for Best First Film at the 2000 Toronto Film Festival. Kormakur was just named by Variety as one of the 10 Directors to Watch.

Angell's been a fiction editor at The New Yorker for more than 40 years. He has written about baseball for the magazine for decades. His pieces about baseball have been collected in four books, including Late Innings and The Summer Game. Angell's new book is A Pitcher's Story: Innings with David Cone. Cone is a celebrated pitcher, a Cy Young Award winner, and one of 16 men in history to pitch a perfect game. Last year, pitching for the Yankees, Cone experienced his first major slump. Angell chronicles Cone's struggle in his book. (Broadcast Date: July 11, 2001)
