The buzz just continues to grow for this special book.
Donna Seaman, Adult Books Editor at Booklist, recently spoke with Nancy Pearl on the latest episode of the Booklist's Shelf Care podcast. Listen to the interview here:
The Writer's Library is an intimate, moving, and insightful collection from "American's Librarian" Nancy Pearl and noted playwright Jeff Schwager that celebrates the power of literature and reading to connect us all. It features twenty-three of today's living literary legends, including Donna Tartt, Viet Thanh Nguyen, Andrew Sean Greer, Laila Lalami, and Michael Chabon, revealing the books that made them think, brought them joy, and changed their lives.
The Writer's Library was selected as a September 2020 LibraryReads pick. Check out more of the star-studded reviews it has received:
"The nearly two dozen literary conversations gathered here are at once substantial and effervescent—magnetic qualities attributable to the focus on what writers read and the expertise and passion of the two interlocutors, renowned librarian and book champion Pearl and playwright, producer, and journalist Schwager.…Complete with lists of titles from each writer’s inner library, this is a zestfully elucidating and inspiring portal onto the lives and thoughts of truly exceptional writers."
—Donna Seaman, Booklist review
"Pearl and Schwager bring boundless enthusiasm and curiosity to this eclectic and probing book of interviews. The 22 authors represented are a varied and never boring cohort.... Readers of this delightful compendium will relish the chance to find many of those shared loves, as well as discover new ones."
