Mystic Ink Publishing Voices of the Masters Series -Sharpening Your Dialogue - Santa Barbara Writers Conference - Robert Gover - 1983

Listen to Robert Gover speaking about Sharpening Your Dialogue at the 1983 Santa Barbara Writers Conference.

Robert Gover (November 2, 1929 – January 12, 2015) was an American journalist who became a best-selling novelist at age 30. His first novel, One Hundred Dollar Misunderstanding, a satire on American racism, remains a cult classic that helped break down America's fear of four-letter words and sexually explicit scenes, as well as sensitizing Americans to sanctimonious hypocrisy. Gover worked with writers for three decades. On the Run with Dick and Jane was his ninth novel. His previous book, Time and Money, explores economic and planetary cyclical correlations. In 2015, the Eric Hoffer Prose Award was renamed the Gover Story Prize in his honor.
