Chuckanut Radio Hour with Brian Doyle, author of Martin Marten

Dave is a "human animal," fourteen years old and contemplating adulthood. Martin is, well, a Marten, also growing up and finding his way in the world. As Dave and Martin cross paths, again and again, they - and we - witness the awe-inspiring interconnectedness of the world and its many inhabitants, human and otherwise. Martin Marten is a coming-of-age tale like no other, told in Brian Doyle's joyous, rollicking style. Join us as we welcome Brian Doyle (author of Mink River and The Plover) back to the Chuckanut Radio Hour!
