We mention Northside’s YA Book Club for Adults (featured on Episode 12).
The Nathan Englander visit was made possible in conjunction with the Virginia Festival of the Book. Special thanks to moderator Linda Kobert. Englander was here to discuss his 2012 book What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank.
After listening you may want to sample Nathan Englander’s other works or read his NYT op ed about Aug. 11 & 12.
The titular story in Englander’s collection was inspired byWhat We Talk About When We Talk About Love by Raymond Carver.
Englander mentions the Israeli writerEtgar Keret as well as Philip Roth’s Portnoy’s Complaint.
