It's called "Fell My Humerus." That's humerus as in the bone in the upper arm on humans.Gabe Bullard sat down with Smith to talk about comedy, writing and the perks of self-publication.
Dwight Allen 
In his literary debut, The Green Suit, author Dwight Allen explored his hometown of Louisville in a series of interlocking stories. Now, he’s turned his attention to his current home in Madison Wisconsin in his latest novel, The Typewriter Satyr. The setting for The Typewriter Satyr is the fictional town of Midvale, Wisconsin, modeled off of Madison. But the characters that inhabit this town could be anywhere. With characters as familiar as your next door neighbors, Allen creates a world that is both comforting and unsettling. Join WFPL’s Robin Fisher as she talks with Allen about his latest novel, how characters develop and what it means to have a sense of place.
