This will have to be an English-only post until I get the video of Nicholas up on dotSUB and add Spanish subtitles. I’m currently at the Calabash International Literary Festival with Georgia, Nicholas, Annie, Kei, Peter, Jonathan, JJ, and company.
Here’s a video interview I recorded with Nicholas Laughlin, editor of the Caribbean Review of Books, a couple nights ago just before the festival began.

It couldn't last, and now it's running out. I don't particularly care that it is and like the way things are going. The record age was just a blip. It was a bit like if you had a source of whale blubber in the 1840s and it could be used as fuel. Before gas came along, if you traded in whale blubber, you were the richest man on Earth. Then gas came along and you'd be stuck with your whale blubber. Sorry mate – history's moving along. Recorded music equals whale blubber. Eventually, something else will replace it."
