Two Picks for the Week: D.H. Lawrence and Lin-Manuel Miranda

The New Yorker Radio Hour | Nov 6, 2015

Rebecca Mead has written for The New Yorker on everything from Shaquille O’Neal to George Eliot’s “Middlemarch.” One of her current fascinations is “Hamilton,” the musical, by Lin-Manuel Miranda, which Mead wrote about in the magazine. She tells David Remnick what she loves about the Broadway cast recording, and also talks up an old classic: a novel by D.H. Lawrence, a man without children, that has surprising insights on motherhood.
