Our audio series "The Authors Read. We Listen." was originally hatched in a NYC club during BEA back in 2012. It's a fun little series, where authors record themselves reading an excerpt from their own novels, in their own voices, the way their stories were meant to be heard.
Today, Richard
Walter will be reading an excerpt from his new novel Deadpan (published by Heresy Press). Richard is an author of best-selling fiction and nonfiction, celebrated
storytelling educator, screenwriter, script consultant, lecturer and retired
professor who led the screenwriting program in the film school at UCLA for
several decades. He has written scripts for the major studios and television
networks; lectured on screenwriting and storytelling and conducted master classes
throughout North America as well as London, Paris, Jerusalem, Madrid, Rio de
Janeiro, Mexico City, Beijing, Shanghai, Sydney and Hong Kong. Subscribe to his
podcast on
Substack
and blog on

Click on the soundcloud bar below to hear Richard an excerpt from the book:
Deadpan is a quintessential Heresy Press book—gloriously incorrect and
daring in its zany, madcap humor, while simultaneously bolstering the
principles of liberal humanism. An equal-opportunity offender, Deadpan combines
no-holds-barred comedy with a nuanced regard for history and human motivation.
Set during the 1970s international oil crisis, the novel’s protagonist—a
vaguely antisemitic failing West Virginia Buick Dealer—is magically
transformed into a beloved Jewish comedian.
