About 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.

Writer-editor Margot Kahn discusses her second book, an anthology she co-edited with Kelly McMasters titled "This Is the Place: Women Writing About Home." Kahn talks about her work editing the collection written by a wide range of women exploring the theme of home in personal essays about marriage, kids, homelessness, domestic violence, solitude, immigration, gentrification and more. Kahn describes how she came to call Seattle home and talks about the subject of her next project, an Iowa farm woman named Evelyn Birkby, who for many years was known as the Radio Homemaker.
