Book Lust with Nancy Pearl
Leading authors on life and writingAbout Book Lust with Nancy Pearl
Seattle's own "action figure librarian," best-selling author, and literary critic Nancy Pearl sits down each month with authors, poets, and other literary figures for conversations about books, reading, and the process and art of writing. There's no one better qualified than Nancy, who brings an informed reader's perspective to lively conversation and in-depth dialogs about all things literary.
Nancy Pearl, author of the best-selling "Book Lust" series, creator of the internationally recognized program "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book" (which became "Seattle Reads"), and model for the world-famous Archee McPhee "Librarian Action Figure," is host of Book Lust with Nancy Pearl on the Seattle Channel.
The Voting Rights Act (VRA) of 1965 has never gotten as much attention as other parts of the Civil Rights Movement. Nancy Pearl talks with Ari Berman, author of Give Us the Ballot, The Modern Struggle for Voting Rights in America, a narrative history of the Voting Rights Act. Berman discusses highlights of the VRA, how it transformed American politics and democracy, and the counterrevolution that it sparked. He also talks about how a recent Supreme Court decision to strike down key parts of the VRA might affect the 2016 election, the first presidential election in 50 years without the full protection of the VRA.
