AOT #423: Daniel Levine Podcasts Hyde

Colorado author Daniel Levine reads from and discusses his debut novel Hyde. A reimagining of Robert Lewis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Levine’s novel tells the the story from the monster’s perspective-making a hero of a villain. “Prepare to be seduced by literary devilry! Go back to Victorian times to find a very postmodern whodunit. Visceral prose, atmosphere you could choke on, characters who seem to be at your very shoulder. My sole regret after spending several hours inside Daniel Levine’s highly literate thriller is that I didn’t think of Hyde for myself.”-Ronald Frame, author of Havisham
