Why Bookstores Still Matter

Why Bookstores Still Matter

Think bookstores are an anachronism? Think again. Evan Friss, author of The Bookshop, says they remain a cornerstone of American cultural life and are just as vibrant as ever. And later in the show, David Damrosch, a comparative literature professor at Harvard, takes us on a journey through 80 books from around the world—and shows us why we're lost without our storytellers. Did you know we have a daily newsletter? Sign up here. Love the show? The single best way to let us know is by joining the Next Big Idea Club.
