Sorry this week's Sewers of Paris is coming a few days late -- it took a little extra time to arrange but I think it's worth it! This week I’m chatting with Scott Heim, the author of the 1995 novel Mysterious Skin, which was adapted into a film by Gregg Araki in 2004.
Scott's book is the story of two teenage boys, both dealing with the same childhood trauma in very different ways, and this conversation’s a little different from the usual Sewers of Paris interviews: Scott recently passed through Seattle, and I sat down with him at Northwest Film Forum to interview him for our local alt-weekly, The Stranger. You’ll hear the audio of our conversation in this episode. And if you’d like to watch the video version, you can find that on The Stranger’s YouTube channel, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ry1RUyWAuNM
