Dee Perry meets the filmmaker behind the PBS special Chicano Rock which screens this weekend for the Rock Hall's Latino Heritage Festival. Plus we hear from Lakewood native James King who's just released his award-winning breakthrough novel Bill Warrington's Last Chance prior to his appearance at Borders Westlake. And we dig into the archives for a couple of Dee's favorite interviews from the winners of the Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards - Derek Walcott and FX Toole.
