Los Angeles Wildfires in Fiction, with Bruce Wagner

Novelist and screenwriter Bruce Wagner returns to talk about his exceptionally timely new novel Amputation—a strange, exuberant, and ultra-meta work set against the backdrop of the January L.A. wildfires. A lifelong Angeleno and one of the city’s most distinctive literary voices, Bruce explains how he wrote the book in less than two months, why he resists the idea of “political novels” even when writing in a political moment, and how language—not legacy—keeps him making art. We also talk about real-life figures who appear as characters (Stephen Colbert, Mayor Karen Bass, Debra Winger, and a Timothée Chalamet student double, among others), the surrealism of driving through miles of leveled neighborhoods, and the deranged comic-tragic chorus of the Nextdoor app. Bruce reflects on being an L.A. “outsider who outsided his way inside,” why the book is opera, not noir, and what it means to keep walking the “narrow, burning road to the palace.” 🎧 Listen to The Unspeakable Podcast wherever you get your podcasts, and find more conversations at https://www.meghandaum.com/ and https://www.theunspeakablepodcast.com/ .#BruceWagner #TheUnspeakablePodcast #novel #LosAngeles #lawildfires #LiteraryFiction #Wildfires #MeghanDaum 🔔 Did you like this episode?
