Timothy C. Ward interviews Bruce Taylor for the second part of their phone conversation that began on AISFP Episode 241, Bruce Taylor on Magical Realism. In this interview, he asks how Bruce became known as Mr. Magical Realism. Tim posted a panel on Quantum Physics Meets Magical Realism from ChiCon 7, where Bruce was a panelist. In today’s podcast, Bruce goes over all kinds of advice on becoming a professional author. He also discusses some of his favorite pieces of fiction and the story behind writing them.

Ben Arzate recently reviewed his collection of short stories, The Final Trick of Funnyman .
