Listen Up! November 2022 on Poured Over
Time flies when you have great books to read—and a terrific literary podcast to keep you company. This November we’re hearing from a few of our favorite authors, old and new. (And we have a sneak peak for December, too.)
LOUISE KENNEDY will break you heart wide open with Trespasses, one of our six Discover Prize finalists. Award-winning author N.K. JEMISIN will show readers a new world in our B&N Exclusive edition of The World We Make, the sequel to one of our favorite Monthly Picks, The City We Became. MADELINE MILLER—beloved author of mega-bestsellers The Song of Achilles and Circe—joins us to talk about her newest, the very-giftable Galatea. (And have you seen our new exclusive edition of The Song of Achilles?) KEVIN WILSON (The Family Fang, Nothing to See Here) is one of our VERY favorite authors and wait until you hear him riffing on his new novel about family and art, Now is Not the Time to Panic. SUE LYNN TAN follows her thrilling fantasy, Daughter of the Moon Goddess, with an amazing sequel (and the final volume of this duology), Heart of the Sun Warrior. ERIKA T. WURTH delivers a powerhouse blend of horror and mystery and an incredible Indigenous woman at its center with White Horse: “This ghost story is a perfect example of new wave horror that will also satisfy fans of classic Stephen King,” says Silvia Moreno-Garcia, author of B&N Monthly Pick Mexican Gothic. MATTHEW QUICK (The Silver Linings Playbook) returns with We Are the Light, a new novel about the healing power of art. And our December sneak peak: The one and only JANE SMILEY (A Thousand Acres, Perestroika in Paris) on A Dangerous Business.
Acclaimed historian ADAM HOCHSCHILD (King Leopold’s Ghost) talks to us about American Midnight, ANAND GIRIDHARADAS (Winners Take All) shows us how to rethink our divisions in The Persuaders; and RABIA CHAUDRY (Adnan’s Story: The Search for Truth and Justice after Serial) gets personal about food and family in her memoir, Fatty Fatty Boom Boom. The iconic PATTI SMITH joins us to talk about her gorgeous and thoughtful A Book of Days. Pulitzer-Prize winning art critic JERRY SALTZ shows us how Art is Life, and the very charming and candid LAUREN GRAHAM asks Have I told You This Already? NICK HORNBY (High Fidelity, About a Boy, Fever Pitch and Juliet, Naked) will have you laughing while re-reading Dickens and listening to Prince (and rethinking both) with his latest, Dickens + Prince: A Particular Kind of Genius.
