Jess Row, Author and Buddhist

http://cptv.vo.llnwd.net/o2/ypmwebcontent/Catie/Paper%20Trails%2002-13-2011.mp3

Paper Trails is a new public-radio show about books, co-produced by WNPR and the New Haven Review. Paper Trails is not the usual feel-good suck-up to the author; on this show, co-hosts Mark Oppenheimer and Brian FrancisSlattery give their honest opinions of the book . . . while the author listens in the studio. Then, in the second and third segments, the author gets to respond.

For this first episode, the co-hosts are joined by fellow critic Gregory Feeley, and all three critics discuss Nobody Ever Gets Lost, the second book by Jess Row, recently named one of Granta's "Best Young American Novelists." They also talk about Row's innovative new publisher, Five Chapters Books — and why a major rising star of American letters would publish with a start-up press.
