Panio Gianopoulos is the guest. He’s the author of the novella A Familiar Beast, now available from Nouvella Books.
Jim Lynch, author of Truth Like the Sun, raves
A Familiar Beast is superb. Always engaging and often provocative, it follows the gut-tightening travails of a man hollowed by his own infidelities. With elegant prose, unforgettable scenes and Philip Roth-like psychological insights, Panio Gianopoulos’s debut novella marks the arrival of a bright and gifted writer.
And Adam Langer, author of The Thieves of Manhattan, says
Elegant, erudite and witty, this extremely well-observed and surprisingly suspenseful story offers more insights into love and human relationships than most authors manage in works three times as long.
Monologue topics: mail, Facebook suicide, savage narcissism, Twitter.

Dude sounds pretty smart. Might have to pick his book up.
You used to be more passionate about lit., but lately your questions have gotten pretty dull. I mean you’ve been asking the same questions to every writer for the most part as of late. Maybe it’s just me that feels this way. It could be because you are thinking too much about that book you wrote that your buddies didn’t like. You should put that book in a drawer and work on something else, or read something that you usually wouldn’t read like Dean Koontz or something. I don’t know man but I tired of hearing you talk about that book . Good luck with that podcast though.

Congrats on Facebook suicide. I deleted my account a little over two years ago and haven’t looked back. It feels good not to read every thought that comes out of a friend or family member’s head. It makes me like them again. Like the old days. Ha. Facebook, or at least having Facebook, was making me cynical and judgmental. I wholeheartedly agree with your thoughts on the topic. Also, yes: total timesuck. Not sure if you’ve ever read it but check out Nicholas Carr’s THE SHALLOWS. Right up your alley. Probably one of my favorite nonfiction books over the last few years.
