The Second Annual Listeners’ Questions Episode

Throughout the year, we hear from many of you, and are always glad when we do. From time to time, we try to answer some of your questions on the podcast. This week, for the second time, we dedicate an entire episode to doing just that. Some of the many questions addressed this week:

  • Who are literature’s one-hit wonders?
  • What are some of our favorite biographies?
  • What are empowering novels about women in midlife?
  • How do we assign books to reviewers?
  • Who are writers that deserve more attention?
  • How does the practice of discounted books work?

Providing the answers are the book critic Dwight Garner, the editors Lauren Christensen, MJ Franklin and John Williams, and the reporters Alexandra Alter and Elizabeth Harris. Pamela Paul is the host.
