NEW & NOTEWORTHY ~ THE NEW YORK TIMES With a Foreword by Susan
Orlean, twenty-three of today's living literary legends, including
Donna Tartt, Viet Thanh Nguyen, Andrew Sean Greer, Laila Lalami,
and Michael Chabon, reveal the books that made them think, brought
them joy, and changed their lives in this intimate, moving, and
insightful collection from "American's Librarian" and recipient of
the National Book Foundation's Literarian Award for Outstanding
Service Nancy Pearl and noted playwright Jeff Schwager that
celebrates the power of literature and reading to connect us all.
Before Jennifer Egan, Louise Erdrich, Luis Alberto Urrea, and
Jonathan Lethem became revered authors, they were readers. In this
ebullient book, America's favorite librarian Nancy Pearl and
noted-playwright Jeff Schwager interview a diverse range of
America's most notable and influential writers about the books that
shaped them and inspired them to leave their own literary mark.
Illustrated with beautiful line drawings, The Writer's Library is a
revelatory exploration of the studies, libraries, and bookstores of
today's favorite authors-the creative artists whose imagination and
sublime talent make America's literary scene the wonderful, dynamic
world it is. A love letter to books and a celebration of
wordsmiths, The Writer's Library is a treasure for anyone who has
been moved by the written word. The authors in The Writer's Library
are: Russell Banks TC Boyle Michael Chabon Susan Choi Jennifer Egan
Dave Eggers Louise Erdrich Richard Ford Laurie Frankel Andrew Sean
