New Claire Benedict Book Chat / Kenneth Cadow Archive Interview #292 (4/28/14)

A new book chat with Claire Benedict, owner of Bear Pond Books, in Montpelier, and one from the archives with Kenneth Cadow, Vermont children's author of the book Alfie Runs Away, published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

Claire Benedict mentioned these books in our conversation:

• Lorrie Moore, Bark

• Thomas Christopher Greene, The Headmaster’s Wife

• Jennifer McMahon, The Winter People

• Rachel Joyce, Perfect

• Roz Chast, Can't We Talk About Something More Pleasant?

• Edward St. Aubyn, Lost For Words

• Joshua Ferris, To Rise Again At A Decent Hour

• Diana Gabaldan, Written In My Own Hearts Blood

• Lily King, Euphoria

• Herman Koch, Summer House With Swimming Pool

Today's Write The Book Prompt is to write a poem, story, scene or essay about an experience of running away. 

Good luck with this exercise and please listen next week for another.
