About this Episode

Writer Jay Neugeboren and his son, illustrator Eli Neugeboren, talk with Harry Siegel about a Brookltyn Basketball legend who withdrew from public life while remaining in and of the city — writing pornography for the mob to pay the rent, ambitious novels in his own voice and then a million-book-selling “cozy cat” series under the pen name Alice Nestleton.
