Reading, Morrison, Hmong

Studio 360

Kurt Andersen and his guest, the book reviewer and writer Sara Nelson, explore the seductive, even dangerous pleasure of reading. Nobel laureate Toni Morrison talks about writing children’s fiction. We’ll hear about a famous bibliophile named Don Quixote who believed that epic tales were real life. And an immigrant community sees its native language on the page for the first time.
