Joan discusses an intriguing book titled 'The Algonquin Roundtable: 25 Years with the Legends Who Lunch,' edited by Mirana Comstock and originally authored by Konrad Bercovici.

Joan and Marana delve into the hotel’s impact on New York's artistic scene and Comstock personal connection and efforts in bringing her grandfather's manuscripts to light. Stories of Charlie Chaplin, Ernest Hemingway, and more are highlighted, along with insights into the cultural and historical significance of the Algonquin Roundtable.
