Chango's Beads in the Times Union

Writing in the TU, Paul Grondahl interviews William Kennedy about his inspirations for his new novel, Chango's Beads and Two-Tone Shoes. Featured subjects include Kennedy's admiration of Hemingway, his father's dementia and his three meetings with Fidel Castro.

Kennedy presents his new novel to the Albany community on Monday, October 3 at 8PM in Page Hall (if you get there at 7:30PM, you can also watch the new 30-minute WMHT documentary, William Kennedy's Prohibition Story, about Legs Diamond and the bootleggers of Albany).
