Audio Interview with Leigh Brackett

Interview conducted by Tony Macklin. Audio interview originally published on June 18, 2009 on tonymacklin.net.

Listen to an audio interview with Leigh Brackett (MP3 format, approximately 70 minutes).

My interview with author Leigh Brackett took place in Kinsman, Ohio. I drove with my young daughter on a hot, humid, blazing July 1975 day to Leigh's rural farm house.

She was a gracious hostess and introduced us to her husband, fellow science fiction author Edward Hamilton. A lot of heady imagination was born in that rural locale.

I vividly remember Leigh's making us lemonade to help cool us -- it was pure sugar. My teeth still cringe when I think of it.

On the way home we stopped in the woods by a lake and took a refreshing dip in the warm water.

The whole trip was like a trip to an alien world, where we were welcomed by a fairy godmother.
