Stealing History
Roger Atwood sheds some light on illicit antiquities trading, from the market that supports it, to the damage it causes to archaeological sites, in Stealing History. Then, Robert Alter discusses his rigorous new translation of the Hebrew Bible: The Five Books of Moses. And internationally-acclaimed director Zhang Yimou, one of China’s most influential and controversial filmmakers, discusses his latest film: "House of Flying Daggers." Finally, avant-garde novelist Stephen Dixon talks about his latest novel, Old Friends, with his publisher Dennis Johnson.
