About Book Lust with Nancy Pearl

Seattle's own "action figure librarian," best-selling author, and literary critic Nancy Pearl sits down each month with authors, poets, and other literary figures for conversations about books, reading, and the process and art of writing. There's no one better qualified than Nancy, who brings an informed reader's perspective to lively conversation and in-depth dialogs about all things literary.

Montana author Deirdre McNamer talks with Nancy Pearl about her recently reissued novel One Sweet Quarrel, which follows the lives of three siblings during the first half of the 20th century. The tale includes the true story of a disastrous 1923 boxing match for the heavyweight title in Shelby, Montana. McNamer discusses the difficulties of novel-writing, the connections between her life and the novel's characters and what it means to be a "Montana author."
