WPKN producer Hans Koning dies

Hans was the producer of WPKN's "Literary Discord" program. The NY Times has his obituary. Hans Koning, 85, Prolific Left-Leaning Writer, Is Dead

Hans Koning, whose outpouring of more than 40 fiction and nonfiction books ranged from exotic travel to erotic trauma to a withering indictment of Christopher Columbus, died on Friday at his home in Easton, Conn. He was 85....

Mr. Koning wrote novels, plays, screenplays, travel books, young adult books and many magazine articles, particularly for The New Yorker. He also did translations. His stated goal was to reflect on injustice and the essential state of being human “in a hidden way.” But his strongly leftist politics were seldom camouflaged.
