Radio Book Club – Telling Ourselves Stories In Order To Live

The latest Radio Book Club begins with reflections and a thank you to Joan Didion, who passed away in December. She left the world with her layered, sharp, and resonant writing. And, hosts have a lively discussion about the books they have NOT read on the New York Times’ ‘Top 25 Books in the Past 125 Years’ list. Infinite jests are had by all! Plus, ample book reviews and recommendations.
