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.
On Book Lust with Nancy Pearl, author and journalist Anthony DePalma discusses "On This Ground: Hardship and Hope at the Toughest Prep School in America," a story he describes as “a school that refused to die in a city that nearly did.” In the conversation, DePalma explores how Saint Benedict’s Prep in Newark endured social upheaval and decline through the steadfast commitment of Benedictine monks who stayed loyal to their community and believed in redemption, accountability, and the idea that education is shaped not just in the classroom, but in the people students become.
