Come visit The Hotel New Hampshire where you can choose whether you want to stay on the violent radical floor or the floor with the very noisy sex workers. There's something for everyone! Tune in as we talk about this surrealist romp that spans two continents, one Freud (but not that Freud!), and two bears. Irene Papoulis, Principal Lecturer in the Allan K. Smith Center for Writing and Rhetoric at Trinity College, joins us to talk about what John Irving's post-Garp novel is saying, or isn't saying, or is maybe kind of saying... and what exactly a writer has to do to become part of "the canon." And bears... we'll also talk a lot about bears.
