In 1988, Ray did a interview on National Public Radio in connection with the publication of his collection, THE TOYNBEE CONVECTOR. Shortly after Ray's death, NPR made the interview available on its website. To listen to that 1988 interview, click on the link below:

Great to see this posted, Richard.

I still have my off-air recorded Fresh Air of this interview with Terry Gross on cassette tape from 1988. As Jack Palance might say "Believe it ... or not."

To this day, Terry Gross and the Fresh Air program is outstanding.
