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 author Peter Mountford revisits his early career as a policy analyst intern with a think tank, which ultimately led to his experience living in South America and a career writing finance-driven novels. He discusses his latest novel, The Dismal Science, a New York Times editor's pick and described by The Seattle Times as “a dark brew of angst and economics.” Mountford's debut novel, A Young Man's Guide to Late Capitalism, won the 2012 Washington State Book Award in Fiction. A writer-in-residence at Seattle`s Hugo House, Mountford talks about his approach to helping writers improve their craft.
