Open Phones: Finding a Good Book
Monday, August 22, 2005
Today is the final day of our special Summer Reading series on underappreciated writers. We've looked at the work of authors who, though they were highly regarded in their lifetimes, have fallen out of fashion and are little-known today. We're opening up the phones to find out how you decide what to read. Are you interested in bestsellers? And what makes a bestseller these days? Call 212-433-9692.
Music:
“Betty’s Lament” from “Betty’s Lament/Uim” by Isan, a Bad Jazz release; “Fallout” from “The Calendar of Unlucky Days” by Euphone, a Jade Tree Records release.
