Authors on today’s Leonard Lopate Show:
Reporter Jere Van Dyk, whose Captive: My Time as a Prisoner of the Taliban (Times Books, 978-0805088274, $25; Macmillan Audio unabridged CD, $39.99) pubs today. PW called it a “harrowing memoir... a gripping tale of endurance and a vivid evocation of Afghanistan's grim realities.”
Brett Easton Ellis with his latest novel, Imperial Bedrooms (Knopf, 978-0307266101, $24.95; RH Audio unabridged CD, $25). In a starred review, PW declared “Ellis fans will delight in the characters and Ellis's easy hand in manipulating their fates, and though the novel's synchronicity with Zero is sublime, this also works as a stellar stand-alone.”
Journalist David Lipsky, author of Although Of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself: A Road Trip with David Foster Wallace (Broadway, 978-0307592439, $16.99). From PW’s starred review: “Prescient, funny, earnest, and honest, this lost conversation is far from an opportunistic piece of literary ephemera, but a candid and fascinating glimpse into a uniquely brilliant and very troubled writer.”
Tonight, Tavis Smiley talks with Daily Beast and Time contributor Peter Beinart, whose book is The Icarus Syndrome: A History of American Hubris (Harper, 978-0061456466, $27.99). PW considered it a “perceptive study of foreign policy over-reach. The book amounts to a brief for moderation, good sense, humility, and looking before leaping—virtues that merit Beinart's spirited, cogent defense.”
