That’s author Jim Shepard and now I feel dumb for not knowing him because this fella was awarded the Story Prize and has been a finalist for the National Book Award while I sit here playing Angry Birds and noodling around with Tumblr. *hangs head in shame*

ANYWAY, Shepard is on today’s Fresh Air talking about his newest collection of short stories, “You Think That’s Bad.” They are pretty interesting, because he examines an array of typically diverse subjects and characters. There’s an African-American operations specialist from the military, a British woman who goes exploring in Iran in the 1930s, a Japanese filmmaker from the 1950s and a fifteenth century French nobleman who happens to be a serial killer. I repeat, a fifteenth century French nobleman who happens to be a serial killer.

 Jim Shepard is a prof at Williams. Jim Shepard was MY prof at Williams.
