Critiquing Books, From Both Sides Of The Page

bookcritics.org

In the literary world, the book critics seem have all the power when your labor of love hits the shelves. But what would authors say if they could sit in the power seat?

On Thursday'sUp to Date, we talk about critical process works and look at book reviews from both sides of the page.

Guests:

  • John Freeman, former president of the National Book Critics Circle
  • Whitney Terrell, distinguished writer-in-residence for New Letters on the Air at the University of Missouri-Kansas City

Up To Date Bookscriticism
When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.
