Authors on today’s Brian Lehrer Show:

British chief rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks talked about Future Tense: Jews, Judaism, and Israel in the Twenty-first Century (Schocken, 978-0805242690, $26.95). PW’s review had this to say: “Blending abundant Hebrew phrases with references to Spinoza, Thomas Paine, and Greek tragedy, Sacks is preaching to an audience of already committed yet worldly Jews who nevertheless may feel inspired by a leader who shares their views.”

Political columnist John Heilemann, co-author of Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the Race of a Lifetime (Harper; 978-0061733635, $27.99; HarperAudio unabridged CD, $39.99).

On The Leonard Lopate Show, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Kai Bird discussed his memoir Crossing Mandelbaum Gate: Coming of Age Between the Arabs and Israelis, 1956-1978 (Scribner, 978-1416544401, $30). PW’s starred review considered it “a compelling hybrid of memoir and history, weaving together recollections of his childhood in Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt; the stories of his wife's Holocaust survivor parents; and rigorous scholarship on the region.”

Tonight, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno interviews Russell Brand, whose My Booky Wook: A Memoir of Sex, Drugs, and Stand-Up (It! Books, 978-0061857805, $14.99) is now out in paperback.
