Simon & Schuster arranged for Tomie to speak with Rachel Martin of National Public Radio’s “Morning Edition” about his book, QUIET, in October, 2018.
Tomie spoke to Rachel Martin from a local radio station’s rather cluttered studio.
On March 31 of this year, “Morning Edition” featured excerpts of some past NPR interviews, including one from 1998 with Linda Wertheimer on “All Things Considered.” The new full-color edition of NANA UPSTAIRS & NANA DOWNSTAIRS was the main focus of the interview.
The March 31 piece used a segment of actress Mary Steenburgen’s reading of STREGA NONA. Although Mary doesn’t say “Strega Nona” during this segment, her full recording is amusing. She pronounces “nona” as if it’s a Spanish word with a tilde above the “n.” (Bob)
