Show #248 on May 31, 2020…In which Mr. Bear reads from “Audubon’s Sparrow” by Juditha Dowd, a biography in poems exploring the life of Lucy Bakewell, wife of John James Audubon, and the question of what it means to sacrifice for someone else’s art.

When Carrie and I began recording The Perks of Being a Book Lover, we called it our half-assed idea. One year later, we are still half-assing our way through it, although we think we have learned some things and gotten more adept at using microphones, troubleshooting the recording technology, and asking interesting questions of our guests. It was a year filled with laughter, frustrations, and climbing learning curves. We thought it would be fun for our 1-year anniversary recording and 47th episode to put ourselves in the hot-seat, and fortunately, Carrie's daughter, Norah, agreed to ask us the questions. Like a lot of 16-year-olds, she was excited to do it the night before but seemed to be completely bored and uninterested during the actual interview. She yawned and Pinterest-ed her way through our answers, which may be what a lot of our listeners do as well as they listen to it. In this episode, we discuss how we started the show, some of our favorite experiences with guests, and what dictatorial book choices we'd make if we had the power. Books We Discuss In This Episode: 1- Moby Dick by Herman Melville 2- Sula by Toni Morrison 3- Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison 4- The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett 5- The Fifth Season by N. K. Jemisin 6- The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix Harrow 7- March by Geraldine Brooks 8- A Spool of Blue Thread by Anne Tyler 9- Lots of Candles, Plenty of Cake by Anne Quindlen 10- The Chaperone by Laura Moriarty 11- The Harry Potter series by J.

"This happy hour Andrew Marjoribanks, Wordsworth Books picks perfect summer reading, fiction and non-fiction. Lynda Gilfillan, down-the-line from down under reviews 'Flame in the Snow – The Love Letters of Andre Brink & Ingrid Jonker', of which she, Lynda, was the copy-editor for the English translation. Cindy Moritz gives us good reason to read Anne Tyler's gentle unwinding of 'A Spool of Blue Thread' with its deceptively small details of ordinary family life. Peter Soal wonders, with Ferial Haffajee and with some alarm 'What if there were no whites in South Africa?'. Beverley Roos Muller spies revelations in 'John le Carre – the biography by Adam Sisman', and Mike Fitzjames takes the thriller genre further with three cracking crime novels. Phillippa Cheifitz keeps her cool - and suggests we keep ours – with 'Ice Kitchen: 50 Lolly Recipes' by Cesar and Nadia Roden. Finally Vanessa Levenstein reviews Santa Montefiore's 'Songs of Love and War', an epic romance with strong archetypal themes of land, love and war."

She's a bestselling author who has won many awards including the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Critic Circle Award. In a rare interview she talks to Mariella Frostrup about her new novel, her twentieth, A Spool of Blue Thread.
