Moms Don’t Have Time to Read Books
Arts:Books
The legendary Susan Orlean is a staff writer at The New Yorker magazine and the author of eight books including Rin Tin Tin, Saturday Night, and The Orchid Thief, which was made into the Academy Award-winning film Adaptation. Her latest book, The Library Book, was nominated for the Andrew Carnegie nonfiction prize and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, which is no surprise to anyone who has read her work! This latest work of nonfiction is about a fire that ravaged the LA Public Library in the 1980s, but it's really an investigation into human behavior. Susan and I talked about everything from the loss of her mother, who used to take her to libraries, to how she hides out from her son to write! Plus she discusses some very exciting new projects.
