Read the Body in a Barrel Author Interview

Season 3 of the Water Shelf Podcast begins with a bang! ⁠Aaron Mead⁠, author of ⁠Body in a Barrel: A Las Vegas Mafia Crime Novella⁠, talks with me about his fictional treatment of Lake Mead’s slow, climate-change-induced unveiling of long-immersed depths. Building on ⁠his written Water Shelf interview⁠, Mr. Mead discusses his water industry and theological studies roots, two layers that contributed complexity as well as publication challenges for his path-breaking work.

Mr. Mead is a Senior Engineer with Metropolitan Water District of Southern California.
