    Books & Looks Podcast: From Bucharest to Books: Author William

    Books & Looks: Real Books for Real Readers was started as a podcast to supplement Blaine Desantis’ website, ViewsOnBooks.com, and expand into audio interviews with authors.

    With Books & Looks, Blaine’s goal is to focus on real books that real people will read. At least half of the books he reviews are either new authors or unknown authors that many in the general public are unaware of. After a segment reviewing books or interviewing authors, Blaine ends each episode with a discussion of the movies and TV shows he is currently watching.

    This Week’s Episode

    Today we speak with William Maz, acclaimed author of The Bucharest Legacy: The Rise of the Oligarchs, an intriguing tale set amidst the socio-political turmoil of 1990s Romania.

    Born in Romania to Greek parents, Maz brings a unique perspective to his writing, artfully blending personal experiences with a deft understanding of history and culture. In this episode, we navigate his journey from being a trained physician to becoming a respected author, the inspirations behind his characters, and how his diverse background contributes to the authenticity of his novels.

    From discussing Maz’s fascinating protagonist, CIA analyst Bill Hefflin, to the riveting themes of power, corruption, and transition in post-communist Romania, we unpack the realism and depth that makes The Bucharest Legacy stand out. We also discuss Maz’s admiration for authors John le Carré, Eric Ambler, and Olen Steinhauer, and how their works have shaped his own.

    Join us as we explore the depth of Romanian culture, history, and food, shedding light on the backdrop against which The Bucharest Legacy unfolds.

    Don’t miss out on this unique blend of literary analysis and historical context. Whether you’re a bookworm or a history enthusiast, this episode is one to bookmark!
