Link to the Show / Show NotesPodcast reborn! After a brief hiatus, Surfing Librarian returns to her dead lover and begins anew. Thanks to a reminder from Paigerella, (who is reading James Joyce's Ulysses, out loud!), April is Poetry Month. Her introduction to the poet Edna St. Vincent Millay through the gorgeous poem Renascence spurs a Surfing Librian reading of Spring.
Next up, we begin a new novel from Sontag, perhaps her most acclaimed: The Volcano Lover, a Romance. Of course, she got the National Book Award for In America, but The Volcano Lover may have been better received by the public.
Thanks to a listener tip, you can search Google videos for Sontag's interview with Charlie Rose. (Hint: the price tag only refers to a high quality video; you can watch a lower quality stream for free).
