    • Abstract:
      An interview with novelist, Nina Revoyr, author of the book "The Age of Dreaming," is presented. When asked about what led her to having silent film as a subject, she says that she was intrigued by the idea and the story of a Japanese silent film star and a sex symbol at a time when there was such anti-Japanese sentiment. She also shares that she is interested with writing about Los Angeles, California and that it is a place where neighborhoods have untold stories. She says that she is working on her next book.
