Then - An Oral Memoir of a Writer's Life

Hosts: David Adler

Guests: Warren Adler

This interview was recorded 10 days before the passing of 91 years old Novelist Warren Adler. He comes to terms with terminal health issues and is faced with making hard choices to preserve his dignity and autonomy. In this tough episode, his son David Adler conducts the last interview with his dad. Throughout their discussion, they touch on a number of topics, from what it means to live and die, to historical remembrances, to lifelong passions and small pleasures, both recent and from the past. He even talks about the novel that he is writing in his head even as he is on the last few days of life. This is the last episode of this series. Warren Adler passed away on April 15, 2019.
