Book Banter S3 EP143 Sebastian Dureaux-Russell Interview
Bleeped words due to some censors: sh00ting up hero!n, prostitute, s*x, s*xuality, g*n
Hello My Happy People,
With recent world events, I am choosing to focus on the thing that make me happy, talking to authors about books. Today I am sharing my conversation with author Sebastian Dureaux-Russell. Readers of Book Banter Magazine may recognize Sebastian's name and book cover from a previous issue when he was a featured poet in the April/May 2024 issue. His poem, Ethan Frome Sled, speaks to a need for reinvention and creation while blending literary nostalgia.
It is not surprising to find that Sebastian has an incredibly deep pool of talent to draw from to feed his creative works. Educated at Duke Ellington School of the Arts and The International Center of Photography, Sebastian is not just an accomplished writer, but is also an award-winning photographer, speaker, and a former model who can perform the “Dior Turn”.
In addition to his award-winning photography, Sebastian has written for numerous publications including Where Magazine, Travel Weekly, and The New York Times . However, in recent years his focus has shifted from writing articles to literary fiction.
His award-winning debut novel, Burning with a Blue Flame , is a historical fiction adventure the centers around Pilot Elmer Darrel. Elmer agrees to compete against race car driver Humbolt Bratka. These men are both trying to reconcile their own personal demons as they speed toward the finish line while navigating through a maze of distractions including speakeasies, passionate interludes, and plenty of jazz.
With all the accolades Sebastian has earned, it is difficult to imagine that at one time he struggled in school. To find out more just listen to today's episode and hear all the fascinating tales from the author himself. Don't wait, go listen now!
(Get ready to plan for 2025!)
Enjoy,
Dianne

Season Three Holiday Hiatus Episodes:
New this year, instead of our usual "Best of Season" repeat episodes being broadcast during our hiatus, we are bringing you all new interviews recorded live at the 2024 Frankfurter Buchmesse in Frankfurt, Germany. The sound in these episodes will not be as clear as our usual episodes. They were recorded live in the middle of the book convention, the crowds were constantly milling all around us, talking, and checking out the exhibits. However, we always strive to bring you the best sound quality we possibly can.
Schedule coming soon!
