Mark Brazaitis (Guatemala 1991-93) Director of Creative Writing at West Virginia University will appear (Tuesday) December 11, 2012 at 11 a.m. on the Diane Rehm Show to discuss his short story collection The Incurables. Broadcast from Washington, D.C., the Diane Rehm Show has been called “the gold standard of civic, civil discourse” and reaches more than 2.2 million listeners. Past guests have included Bill Clinton, Desmond Tutu, Julie Andrews, and Toni Morrison. The Diane Rehm Show is produced at WAMU 88.5 in Washington, D.C., and distributed by National Public Radio, NPR Worldwide, and SIRIUS satellite radio. “I’m thrilled to talk about my book, and about how the themes of my book connect to the work I’ve been doing at WVU-my teaching, my work with the Appalachian Prison Book Project, and my talks at the Health Sciences Center on the importance of listening to and understanding patients,” Brazaitis said.
