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.
Nancy Pearl talks with best-selling author Leif Enger about his first novel in 10 years, "Virgil Wander," a sweeping story of new beginnings which follows the inhabitants of a broken Midwestern town in their quest to revive its flagging heart. Enger discusses his inspiration for character Virgil Wander, his writing process and the sort of fiction he most enjoys. A former Minnesota Public Radio reporter and producer, Enger is the author of the New York Times bestseller "Peace Like a River."
