Parker interview in Bryant Park

 

On 14 June 2006 Elizabeth Foxwell interviewed Robert B. Parker in New York's Bryant Park, an event recorded by Glenn Curry and broadcast on a local cable channel, and they gave me permission to share this with the rest of you.  For the record:

  • I sincerely thank the Bryant Park Restoration Corporation for their cooperation.  (see http://www.bryantpark.org for the fine work they are doing.)

  • These video files are free for all who want to view them and can not be sold to anyone under any circumstances at any time.

  • They are also exclusive to this page and cannot be posted or referred to by any other site.  The BPFC asked me to promise that, and I'll hunt down anyone who crosses us and make them sorry they ever bought a computer with a modem.   

  • Elizabeth Foxwell is a writer, editor, and radio host.  She is also the co-author, with Dean James, of The Robert B. Parker Companion: The Complete Guide to his Novels from Spenser to Sunny Randall (see www.elizabethfoxwell.com)

  • Glenn Curry has been a frequent contributor to this site for years.  Beside being one of the few people to have a page named after them (see The Glenn Curry Collection) his sharp eyes have made him the most frequent winner of the First to Find a Signing Tour award.

 

Note that they are video files and therefore very large.  So large that because of bandwidth restrictions I cannot post them on my site or that of anyone I could impose on.  These are links to Megaupload.com, a site designed for just that, and even then they had to be cut up into five smaller files.  When you follow the link you will be asked to type in the code shown on the screen (the standard  way to foil trolling programs nowadays) and after about thirty seconds the download will begin.  They are in Windows Media and Video format (.wmv) so be sure your machine can handle them.
