Book Lust with Nancy Pearl featuring Elizabeth McCracken

“Book Lust” host Nancy Pearl speaks with author and former librarian Elizabeth McCracken about her latest work “The Hero of This Book.” The book is inspired by McCracken’s own relationship with her mother, and she says the novelization of that relationship resulted in a somewhat unusual writing process.

Thanks Nancy, I really enjoyed this conversation with Elizabeth. I love how she is so matter of fact about how the ideas she writes about come to her.

A wonderful book. At one point, I realised I had been walking around by myself, going to the same places, going to the same play, that same summer, which made the reading experience even more interesting.
