Leading authors on life and writingAbout 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.
Nancy Pearl, author of the best-selling "Book Lust" series, creator of the internationally recognized program "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book" (which became "Seattle Reads"), and model for the world-famous Archee McPhee "Librarian Action Figure," is host of Book Lust with Nancy Pearl on the Seattle Channel.
Best-selling author Debra Dean discusses her new biography, "Hidden Tapestry: Jan Yoors, His Two Wives, and the War That Made Them One," with host and author Nancy Pearl. "Hidden Tapestry" reveals the unforgettable story of Flemish American artist Yoors -- childhood vagabond, wartime Resistance fighter, and polyamorous New York bohemian. Dean describes her fascination with the artist and his two wives, reflects on the shift to writing non-fiction and recounts how she delved into Yoors' colorful life and detailed his astonishing secrets. Her celebrated debut novel, "The Madonnas of Leningrad," was a New York Times Editors' Choice novel. A Seattle native, Dean lives in Miami and teaches creative writing at Florida International University.
