This week, hear Paulie talk to one of America's premiere essayists, Phillip Lopate. The occasion for this interview is the recent release of Phillip's newest book of essays, "Portrait Inside My Head", an imminently readable, hilarious, brilliant, provocative collection that spans such topics as marital sex, novel adaptations to film, poetry, baseball, liberalism, and Phillip's tough upbringing on the streets of Brooklyn. Beside Phillip's three prior books of essays, he has also published novels, poetry and much film criticism. Phillip is funny, smart and refreshingly irreverent.
