Book Lust with Nancy Pearl
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.
Nancy Pearl sits down with author Jamie Harrison, who wrote the acclaimed Blue Deer series of mystery novels set in a fictionalized Livingston, Mont., to discuss her new novel "The Widow Nash." Harrison tells the story of Dulcy Remfrey, a young woman who flees a violent suitor, fakes her own death and pursues a new life in early 1900's Montana. Described by many as a "feminist Western," the book spans continents and decades, engaging in moral questions that will resonate with modern readers.
