This podcast not only ask good questions, but allows authors, complete and lengthy answers without interruptions. It is a great resource for books. I am interested in or for perspective on those I have just read.
I’ve just discovered you, because I was searching for that THE LINCOLN HIGHWAY: AMOR TOWLES interview and I liked how the interviewer let the author talks without cutting him out, anyway I think I’m gonna be checking out this pod to find my favorite authors and also for finding someone new to read, KEEP GONING👍
Never miss an episode!
If I were Jenny Offill, I’d consider the Marginalia interview fun, and not work. This and the NYT podcast I heard not long ago, make me curious enough about her style to read “Dept. of Speculation.”
I always learn something new or interesting while listening to this podcast. Great questions and conversation that always enhance my reading experience or make me add yet another book to my towering TBR stack!
