Thursday on Lake Effect:
It’s a special all-books edition of the show, starting with the words that make up the books. We look at the role of dictionaries in the 21st Century. Then, a translator of Brazilian novels is the unlikely heroine of a novel of crime and intrigue. And 11-year-old Tessie Finley returns in Milwaukee native Lesley Kagen’s newest novel The Mutual Admiration Society.
Guests:
- Steve Kleinedler, executive editor, The American Heritage Dictionary
- Idra Novey, author, Ways to Disappear
- Lesley Kagen, author, The Mutual Admiration Society
