[Swprograms] Literature about shortwave

[David Goren <dbgoren@xxxxxxxxx>]

Paul's mention of the poem "Atwater Kent" gives me a good opening to 
ask for list member recommendations of literature that has a segment 
about shortwave or any form of long distance radio listening. Some of 
the examples I know of include Hubert Selby's "Last Exit to Brooklyn," 
Michael Chabon's "Kavalier and Clay," and Stanley Elkin's "Dick 
Gibson."

I am working on a project where I am creating radio drama style 
vignettes from some of these excerpts. Hopefully I will present these 
as part of my Listening Lounge forum at next year's Shortwave 
Winterfest in Kulpsville, PA. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

David
