Off-Ramp for November 7, 2009
Nov. 7, 2009|0 comments
NOTE FROM JOHN RABE: This week, we're looking forward with new LAPD Chief Beck, and back at the career of Bill Bratton. But we're also bringing you a special story from writer RH Greene. Before I interviewed him about his new "memoir" of Dracula, he told me he hoped we'd also let him tell the story of his late twin brother Tommy, who died before the book was published. It was too important to mix with the book interview, he said, and I agreed. We're proud to bring you Greene's commentary this week, and hope you'll check out his book reading on the 15th at Book Soup.

Please, give until it hurts. Or until just before the pain starts. KPCC innoculates you against a chaotic and cynical world, but we can't do it without you. If you've enjoyed Off-Ramp, you've benefitted from the donations of people who came before you. Now, it's your turn.
