Where Great Writers Write

We welcome back author Alex Johnson, who has just released a new book called Rooms of their Own: Where Great Writers Write. It’s a beautifully illustrated book that describes the writing locations used by 50 famous authors. Alex show us attics, hotel rooms, huts, bedrooms, and basements where great literature was created. We discuss George Bernard Shaw's revolving hut, W.H. Auden's slum in New York, Roald Dahl's child-free hut, and much more.
