Episode 9: PFI, Season 1, Episode 9, Rabih Alameddine (2014)

In conversation with Rabih Alameddine

Show notes

PFI is more than just the visual arts, folks, and today’s theme is fiction. For this episode, we sit down with the brilliant Lebanese-American writer Rabih Alameddine, a man with more prestigious award nominations than Susan Lucci and a past almost certainly as interesting. Rabih shares stories from his much travelled international childhood and expounds on his creative endeavors which run the gamut from engineering to painting, and finally, to writing. Everything is fair game as we explore the pros and cons of MFA programs, pathos-laden personal memoirs, loneliness, Satan, Schnabels, social media, and of course, soccer. So pull up a seat or pull to the side of the road and take a listen. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry and you’ll almost certainly never look at a Matisse the same way again. (Recorded on 3/13/15)
