Lavie Tidhar, author of Osama, joins us for a long discussion about his book from PS Publishing, 9/11, terrorism, Osama Bin Laden, genre fiction, alternate history, and a whole lot of other things that would take too long to list. Trust me when I say this episode is jam packed with serious discussion of things that matter to the Post-9/11 generation.
Plus: Osama is by far one of the best books we’ve read in a while!

Another fun interview. The young Lavie that wanted to be a writer but needed to live life first certainly has done *that*. And it informs his fiction well…
