All Sides Interview

The Butcher's Thumb author Greg Haas appeared the other day on All Sides with Ann Fisher on WOSU 820AM.  All Sides is one of those hidden treats here in Columbus thanks to the exceptionally strong public media organizations through Ohio State.

This hour-long interview is the first of such length about the novel.  Greg and Ann cover the significance of the book's title, the connections between protagonist Matt Risen and real-life figures John Dean and Scott McClellan, and the real dangers of the neo-conservative point of view.  It's a thorough discussion of the book's themes, characters, and how Greg came to write The Butcher's Thumb.
