Summer Reading Series
This July and August, Leonard Lopate explores underappreciated and forgotten works of great literature as part of a special Summer Reading Series. He'll look at why some authors are little-known in America, even though they're widely respected in other parts of the world, and at why certain books fall in and out of fashion (and print).

We continue our Summer Reading Series with a look at the writings of J.G. Farrell, a promising British-Irish writer whose work fell into obscurity after he died in a freak accident at the age of 44. Though he won a Booker Prize in 1973 for Siege of Krishnapur, he’s largely forgotten today.
