À propos de cet audio

Performed by Nancy Pearl, Jeff
Schwager and a multi-cast that includes book contributors Luis Alberto Urrea,
Siri Hustvedt, Laurie Frankel, Vendela Vida, and Richard Ford. The Writer’s
Library audiobook also features real conversations with Michael Chabon,
Ayelet Waldman, and Laila Lalami.


With a Foreword by Susan Orlean, twenty-three of today's living literary legends, including Donna Tartt, Viet Thanh Nguyen, Andrew Sean Greer, Laila Lalami, and Michael Chabon, reveal the books that made them think, brought them joy, and changed their lives in this intimate, moving, and insightful collection from "American's Librarian" Nancy Pearl and noted playwright Jeff Schwager that celebrates the power of literature and reading to connect us all.



Before Jennifer Egan, Louise Erdrich, Luis Alberto Urrea, and Jonathan Lethem became revered authors, they were readers. In this ebullient book, America’s favorite librarian Nancy Pearl and noted-playwright Jeff Schwager interview a diverse range of America's most notable and influential writers about the books that shaped them and inspired them to leave their own literary mark.

The Writer’s Library is a revelatory exploration of the studies, libraries, and bookstores of today’s favorite authors—the creative artists whose imagination and sublime talent make America's literary scene the wonderful, dynamic world it is. A love letter to books and a celebration of wordsmiths, The Writer’s Library is a treasure for anyone who has been moved by the written word.

If you love books, you’ll love most of this title. Some of the interviews have not aged well. Jargon like “problematic” is spoken far too often. How boring a novel would be if it wasn’t “problematic” in one way or another.

Enjoyable
