Charles Koehler interviews Jerry Rabushka, author of "The Omega Boys," a novel about a group of men trying to stage a play about AIDS and a main character, Terry Starks, who is abused by an air conditioner repairman. Rabushka discusses the themes of self-esteem and internalized homophobia, and the challenges of writing and publishing. He also mentions his work as a composer, including music for the Imaginary Theater Company and a ballet. Rabushka advises aspiring writers to show their work to others and get it published. His book is available at several local bookstores.
