Reading Michael A. Stusser: The Dead Guy Interviews

  • Stusser_lincoln_large

Hypothetical interlocutor Michael Stusser has done his homework, assembling a collection of imaginary conversations with an eon's worth of rulers, luminaries, and renegades, including Cleopatra, Karl Marx, and Queen Isabella I. Originally posted as a feature on the smartypants blog Mental Floss, Stusser's Dead Guy Interviews combine a dishy gossip-rag format with an intellectual's probing curiosity, resulting in a collection of historical fiction that is both kitschy and compelling. Tonight, Stusser reads selections from his newly published anthology, giving each character his own personal spin and enlivening the literary reading with performative gusto.
