Strange Familiars writes “Alison interviews Timothy about his new book, I Have Never Minded the Loneliness: Hermits and Their Stories. We discuss the book, hermits and their pets, John Smith, John Stink, the Hermit Queen of Happy Hollow, the Giant Hermit of the Adirondacks, the Old Leather Man, and more. Timothy reads the stories of hermits Left-Handed Charley, who was caught in a lie by Theodore Roosevelt, and Truman “Commodore” Downs, who claimed the planet Mars as his birthplace.”
