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 are:
Chad Post, publisher of Open Letter Books at the University of Rochester.
Kaija Straumanis is the senior editor for Open Letter.
Kyle Semmel is the director of Writers & Books
Brian Wood is a short story writer—and now novelist—who is also a Writers & Books instructor
