Michael Silverblatt van het programma Bookworm is de beste literaire interviewer die ooit heb gehoord.

I tried to put together some words on Michael Silverblatt here. RIP Michael and thank you.
I knew Michael Silverblatt a little and checked up on him every six months or so by phone. So I'm pretty devastated by this.
In addition to being one of the best books interviewers around, he was extremely kind and very funny. A major loss for the books world.
Ich hatte vorher noch nie von ihm gehört. Hier ein liebevoller Nachruf auf Michael Silverblatt, den Moderator einer literarischen Radio-Sendung, die heute noch als Podcast zu finden ist: Bookworm.

"It's sort of as if you were reading Wuthering Heights & you became aware that the whole nature of the book would be to prove to Heathcliff & Catherine that they're not right for each other..What I found wonderful about THE WEIGHT OF A PIANO is that by the final chapter..the characters who are together are the characters who should be together."
The wonderful #MichaelSilverblatt talks with #ChrisCander about her book: https://www.kcrw.com/culture/shows/bookworm/chris-cander-the-weight-of-a-piano
I could listen to Michael talk #books all day.
