Hello
and welcome to The Rob Burgess Show. I am, of course, your host, Rob
Burgess.
On
this, our eighth episode, our guest is Melanie Samay.
Melanie
studied literature at Fordham University in the Bronx and received
her Masters in English literature from San Francisco State
University. Her thesis was on The
Ground Beneath Her Feet by
Salman Rushdie and how he creates a literary version of the history
of rock & roll by writing his own version of the Orpheus myth.
Other favorite authors are: Irvine Welsh, Vladimir Nabokov, Anne
Rice, Bret Easton Ellis, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Arturo
Perez-Reverte, J. K. Rowling, Charles Bukowski, Zadie Smith, and
Chuck Palahniuk.
She
sometimes spends too much time reading; other times too little. Samay
owns too many books but can't stop acquiring them. She's forever
pro-physical books and anti-eReaders. She has a shy, skinny black boy
cat named Hermione. She is a staunch defender of the serial comma.
Currently she works in marketing for The Contemporary Jewish Museum.
When she's not reading, she's walking around the city, sitting in
parks with friends, and hanging around dark spaces at night listening
to loud music. Read more on her blog about books and book-nerdom at
