My guest this week is Kevin Allardice, the author of short stories and five novels, of which I have no read three. His most recent is Weft, and it’s a full-length work like his debut novel, Any Resemblance to Actual Persons. I’m also a big fan of his shorter works, closer to novellas but no less rich in voice, wit, fabulist or absurdist themes, each a celebration of association, word choice, digression and totally entertaining immersion in character and place. These are totally engaging romps, fast-paced, and wildly imaginative. He discusses all his books, his writing career, and especially to talk about and read from Weft, a kind of horror novel meets critique of late-stage capitalism, take-apart of the long con, and an examination of the collapse of a self-constructed identity. Wicked fun, thoughtful play, and both an embrace and elevation of the form. Here’s his website: https://kevinallardice.com/
