First hour: Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren, part two

Second hour: Open Letter Books' Two Month Review

Rochester mayor Lovely Warren joins us in studio. It's our second round of interviews with the candidates for mayor. We'll discuss economic development and the state of the campaign. 

Then in our second hour, do you ever read a great book... but feel like you have no one with whom to discuss it? Or that you have no time to really digest or appreciate it? Open Letter Books is trying to offer a remedy for that problem with their new project called "Two Month Review." It's an effort to discuss a single book, bit by bit, over two months. Their upcoming book is known as the Icelandic Ulysses, called Tomas Jonsson, Bestseller. We'll talk about their featured books -- and the value of examining art slowly, instead of binging and instantly moving on to the next idea. Guests TBA.
