Episode 113: Matthew Salesses
Matthew Salesses is a writer based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Matthew’s new novel, Disappear Doppelgänger Disappear, is darkly funny, unsettling in the best way, and wholly original, the story of a Korean American man struggling simply to exist as he feels himself literally disappearing.

Then in the second segment, we talked about the meaning of love.
(Conversation recorded July 8, 2020.)
