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.
Seattle novelist Maria Semple, author of the 2012 hit comic novel Where'd You Go Bernadette, joins host Nancy Pearl to talk about her new novel Today Will Be Different, which follows a crazy day in the life of a Seattle mom. Semple shares her thoughts on the process of creating a work of fiction, including writing a first draft and subsequent editing.
