The Leonard Lopate Show | Jul 29, 2013

Michael Paterniti tells a mysterious tale about Spain, a blood feud, and cheese, set in an ancient village of Guzmán, Spain. In The Telling Room: A Tale of Love, Betrayal, Revenge, and the World’s Greatest Piece of Cheese, he writes of being sucked into the heart of an unfolding mystery that includes accusations of betrayal and theft, death threats, and a murder plot. As the village begins to spill its long-held secrets, Paterniti finds himself implicated in the very story he is writing.
