In his new book, "A Few Seconds of Radiant Filmstrip: A Memoir of Seventh Grade," novelist Kevin Brockmeier re-examines the worst year of his childhood.
Euan Kerr says "It's an amazing read, in part because he consciously limited himself to his vocabulary of when he was 12, but uses his skills as an adult writer to bring new depths to the experience."
Kerr speaks to Brockmeier about his latest book.
