Richard Ploetz - SOUTH - Episode 388
About this episode
Kyler Bingham interviews playwright Richard Ploetz about his novel South and his artistic journey.
On the latest episode of Salt Lake Dirt , I sat down with playwright and author Richard Ploetz to talk about his beautiful new novel, South , recently released by Arcade Publishing. The book chronicles 30 years in the relationship of two main characters, Bert and Trudy, tracking their journey through the shifting chapters of their lives. Threaded together by edited versions of Richard’s own real-life journal entries, South expertly captures the fluidity of time and the stark realization that, if we live long enough, we truly do inhabit several completely different lives over the course of our existence. Beyond the prose of the novel, Richard and I talked about his extensive background as a playwright and how his artistic worlds constantly feed into one another. He shared details about his upcoming play scheduled to run this November in the East Village. South is easily one of the most stunning books I've read in a long time. I highly recommend it.
