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.
Presidential historian Richard Norton Smith discusses his newest book, "On His Own Terms: A life of Nelson Rockefeller," a cradle-to-grave biography of the life of a would-be U.S. president. Smith took 14 years to write the book that draws from thousands of documents and over 200 interviews to capture Rockefeller's larger-than-life persona, creating a comprehensive and engrossing picture of the American icon who lived the life of a diplomat, bureaucrat, politician, businessman, art collector, real estate developer and was the charismatic face of liberal Republicanism.
