William Kennedy, fiction writer and screenwriter

Readings from "Roscoe" (2002) and an unfinished, untitled work

Novelist William Kennedy reads from "Roscoe" (2002), a political novel set in Albany: "That year, an ill wind blew over the city that threatened to destroy flower pots, family fortunes, reputations, true love and several types of virtue."

He also reads from an unfinished, untitled novel set in Cuba and, of course, Albany. "This is a peculiar book," says Kennedy.
