9/20/14 INTERVIEW WITH MICHAEL J. TUKCER, AUTHOR OF AQUARIUS FALLING AND CAPRICORN’S COLLAPSE.

On August 20, I reviewed Aquarius Falling on Late Last Night Books, and  on October 13 Mike will join us here as a monthly columnist..

Q: Most of us have many all-time favorite books. What are a few of yours and why are they among your favorites?

A: It starts with The Talented Mr. Ripley and includes the entire Ripley series by Patricia Highsmith. Her main character, Tom Ripley, is a psychopath, but Ms. Highsmith tells her stories in such a way that you are cheering him on, you want to see him survive and avoid capture. She was an amazingly talented author.
