This week we welcome author Paul Malmont back to the show!

Paul first appeared on The Roundtable in June of 2006 to discuss his book “Chinatown Death Cloud Peril”, and he’s returned to tell the world about his latest book: “Jack London in Paradise“.

SFGATE, Home of the San Francisco Chronicle says:

“Jack London in Paradise” reveals London as a creature of the cinematic age and a writer intrigued with cultures and races not his own. He emerges as our contemporary, not a musty figure from the past. In Hawaii, he comes to grips with his tangled self and sees himself for the first time as he really is. He’s a tragic hero, though he can also be a bit of a buffoon. Like the real London, he makes speeches and pontificates. Moreover, he’s afraid that he’s been cursed; his great wealth and fame only add to his woes.

This week I changed the format completely with a shocking twist.

Please don’t tell Roy and Terry.
