Tricia Romano wrote a big-ass book that’s for sure. You only have to pick it up and flip through it once to see how much work has gone into it - and if you’re into American Culture of Years Gone By, this is the tome for you. It’s called The Freaks Came Out To Write - and boy, did they ever…
It’s the story of how if you had something to say, you could more or less turn up at the office of The Village Voice and if they thought you had something to say, you could get yourself a gig. Most probably thought it was fleeting but somehow ‘fleeting’ turned into years which, if you look at it another way, reads: ‘career’.
…but that is that story. This story is about Tricia Romano and how she put it together though of course, we do talk about the content of the book here and there as well. I hope you get as much of a kick out of it as I did putting it together.
If you need a copy - and you do need a copy - as discussed on the show, it’s pretty hard to find in the UK but copies are available on amazon at a reasonable price (especially if you’ve got a Prime membership) and you can find that link here.
Thanks for tuning in.
Be cool to each other!
