Welcome to Talking Culture! In this weekly interview series from 97.9 The Hill WCHL, you’ll hear from writers, performers, musicians and individuals involved in advancing and promoting cultural arts in our community.
This week, Aaron welcomes Jim Wilbur – already well known as a member of the band Superchunk, but also an author whose debut book is out now. It’s called “A Pocketful of Nickels” – a collection of short stories set in New England, featuring surrealistic tales of characters who find themselves haunted by ghosts, family secrets, and shadowy, uncanny, inexplicable worlds.
Follow Jim Wilbur on Instagram.
Wilbur discusses his inspiration for writing, the New England setting, the characters who inhabit his stories, and whether there’s a resolution to the mysteries that lurk at their heart.
