jeffrey ford has won tons of awards and his work has been translated into over 20 languages. jeffrey teaches, questions his own talent, is funny as heck and his stories are just boiling over with good prose and imagination. draxtor is appaled that this man is not a household name in germany so the agenda ’21 is clear: make jeffrey great in deutschland! enjoy the conversation:

• the original live-stream from wednesday’s book club

• the post-game hangout with jeffrey including an appearance by peter pan ….

• jeffrey’s “the girl in the glass” is an incredibly tight mystery thriller set against depression era usa but it is also more timely than ever in its depiction of a society, plagued by inequality and racism because let’s face it: the unscientific bs of eugenics and other “theories” is being peddled again, just wrapped up in fancy academic wording ….
