Frank Eberling, who recently published a new novel titled Demarest Kill, was interviewed by Clare Sheridan. Demarest Kill is a murder mystery and coming-of-age/loss-of-innocence novel unlike any you have read before. In the novel, the Demarest Kill, a stream that threads its way through New City, behind Dutch Garden and the Rockland County Courthouse, serves as a metaphor for events that unfold over a fifty-year period.
Richly described with period detail and local color, Demarest Kill is the story of a generation of baby boomers who, like Mr. Eberling, grew up in the post-World War II years in New City. We will speak to Mr. Eberling about his experiences and the process of writing his new book.
The November broadcast is sponsored by the Town of Ramapo, Supervisor Christopher St. Lawrence and the Ramapo Town Board. We are grateful for their financial support of our radio show.
