In conversation with Robert Lipsyte

I had the great opportunity to chat with Robert Lipsyte. Robert was one of the young sportswriters who cover the Sonny Liston - Cassius Clay (Mohammad Ali) fight. Near the same time Robert also wrote one of the first modern YA novels - The Contender.
In this conversation we discuss writing habits, inspiration for stories, journalism, writing with Dick Gregory, sensitivity readers, advice for young writers, and a number of other topics.
