Are you a horse racing fan??

By Vick Mickunas | Friday, January 27, 2012, 12:00 PM

Then don’t miss my radio interview this Sunday morning with Jaimy Gordon. Her novel “Lord of Misrule” (Vintage Books) brilliantly depicts all the drama that unfolds during some claiming races at a West Virginia racetrack. The year is 1970.

The book recently came out in paperback. It won the National Book Award for fiction in 2010. Gordon is a 1966 graduate of Antioch College.

Tune in to WYSO (91.3fm) Sunday morning at 11 to hear our conversation….
