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 bestselling author Susan Wiggs about her novel "Wayward Girls," the story of six teenage girls sent to a brutal Catholic-run reform school in 1968 and their decades-long journey toward justice. Wiggs shares how a return to her childhood home sparked the idea for the novel and how conversations with survivors helped shape its characters and events.
