Author Linda Rosenkrantz joins us to discuss her 1968 "reality novel" Talk. In the summer of 65, Rosenkrantz took a tape recorder to the beach and documented her friends' conversations.

We speak with her about her contrasting experiences with publishing then and now, her artistic inspirations, other tape recording projects, and more.
