Ep. 34: Paradise for Normal People

A conversation about Ischia and Truman Capote's favorite place to stay
Original artwork from the walls of Pensione DI Lustro

In this episode, I speak with writer Susan van Allen about Ischia, the island very close to Capri that I like to call paradise for normal people. The last time I was there, Susan introduced me to her favorite place to stay on Ischia, the Pensione Di Lustro, a throwback to another era of travel and the place where Truman Capote spent 97 days living and writing “Local Color.”

I hope you enjoy it!
