Great conversations
I love listening to these when I am familiar with the writer’s work. But I perhaps love them even more when they are introducing me to a voice I have not yet read. I have never read Pico Iyer or Ian Rankin before, but now that I have heard them on here, I am intrigued, and excited to read their books. One of Kaplan’s gifts is his ability to make the writer feel at ease, so that the conversation flows very beautifully. Another is to be the voice of the reader, enthusiastic about the work at hand and also not afraid to bring in connections to his own life to help make meaning of his experiences interacting with this literature.
