KCRW’s Bookworm Podcast by Michael Silverblatt includes an excellent series of interviews with established as well as promising talents in literature and poetry.
There are a total of ten interviews, including ones with Umberto Eco, Nicole Krauss and Bret Easton Ellis. While Eco discusses his conception of memory in his book ‘The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana’, Krauss ponders upon the transmission of memory. Other interesting interviews deal with the topic of identity- racial as well as cultural.
The audio quality is good and Silverblatt incise in his questioning. I give this podcast four stars and recommend it to all serious book lovers.
