As in the first volume of Arno Schmidt’s Radio Dialogs, published by Green Integer in 1999, this second volume contains dialogic discussions of literary figures, performed over German radio from 1953 to 1971 by the great novelist. Here Schmidt discusses, again, his beloved James Joyce, as well as the English writer Bulwer-Lytton, and the German-language authors Johann Gottfried Schnabel, Adalbert Stifter, and Gustav Frenssen.

One of the most noted writers of the 20th century, Schmidt died in 1979. His books include Bottom’s Dream, Republica Intelligentsia, Nobodaddy’s Children, Evening Edged in Gold, and The School for Atheists, published in 2001 by Green Integer.
