Welcome back to Tall tales on you're listening to radio revel. This episode, called He was walking slowly, is the second fragment from the 1989 novel Exile which I began reading last time. I don't know how many of these I'll share with you all, it's been an interesting exercise in editing and evaluating the actual value of this material from over three decades ago.
Transcript can be read on the you're listening to radio revel blog. And, of course, you can support me, if you'd like, on Patreon.
