Alan Furst

Studio 360

Spies are in the news again, but they’ve been in Alan Furst‘s fiction for over 20 years. His new novel, Spies of the Balkans, is his 11th work of World War II-era espionage fiction. The book has been getting great reviews, but Furst tells Kurt he has no idea what he did right — he actually teleports to another time and place when he sits down at the typewriter.
