Andrew Tonkovich of KPFK radio in Los Angeles has prepared a one-hour interview that features World’s End, William O’Daly's final book of translation of Pablo Neruda; a two-part essay O’Daly published in 2006 titled “A Winter’s Sun: Writing Against Torture”; and some of his own poetry.

With World’s End, work written by Pablo Neruda in 1968 and 1969, O’Daly has now published eight translations of the late and posthumous poetry of Neruda, as well as a chapbook of his own poems, The Whale in the Web. O’Daly was a finalist for the 2006 Quill Award in Poetry for Still Another Day, the first of his Neruda series. A National Endowment for the Arts fellow, he recently completed a historical novel, This Earthly Life, with coauthor Han-ping Chin, set during the Chinese Cultural Revolution.
