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.
Veteran travel writer Thomas Swick joins host Nancy Pearl. They discuss Swick's path to travel writing, the elements of a good travel story, writers he admires, as well as favorite destinations and worst trips. Swick's latest book, "The Joys of Travel: And Stories That Illuminate Them," takes readers through the seven fundamental joys of travel coupled with his personal essays.
