Authors on today’s Leonard Lopate Show:

Aimee Bender talked about her second novel, The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake (Doubleday, 978-0385501125, $25.95). PW declared “this coming-of-age story makes a bittersweet dish, brimming with a zesty, beguiling talent.”

Eric Pooley, deputy editor of Bloomberg BusinessWeek, whose The Climate War: True Believers, Power Brokers, and the Fight to Save the Earth (Hyperion, 978-1401323264, $27.99) pubbed last week.

Live with Regis and Kelly chatted with Henry Winkler, whose A Brand-New Me! (Grosset & Dunlap, 978-0448452104 $4.99) is the seventeenth entry in his Hank Zipzer children’s series.

On The Diane Rehm Show, Pakistani journalist Imtiaz Gul recalled The Most Dangerous Place: Pakistan's Lawless Frontier (Viking, 978-0670022250, $26.95; Tantor unabridged CD, $34.99), which pubbed last week. PW wrote “Gul’s disorganized but readable account doesn’t alter the conventional picture of the Pakistan-Afghanistan frontier, but he offers a useful scorecard for the struggle to bring order to the region--and shows how difficult and perhaps even unrealizable it is.”
