How did SOPRANOS veteran Michael Imperioli come to write and perform his first novel—a coming-of-age drama about a young man and his friendship with rock god Lou Reed? Michael chats about his 30-year acting career, his evolving life as a writer, and his involvement with the audiobook process to create THE PERFUME BURNED HIS EYES. Chatting with host Jo Reed, Michael shares his story, including the many careful details that evoke Matthew’s innocence and the wild side of Manhattan of 1976, and the freedom of writing a complete novel.
