Beginning with a Best American award-winning narrative, Kathleen Hill’s memoir “She Read To Us In The Late Afternoons” explores defining moments of a life illuminated by novels, read in Nigeria and France and at home in New York. “One of These Things First” by Steven Gaines is a wry and poignant reminiscence of a 15-year-old gay Jewish boy in Brooklyn in the early sixties and his unexpected trajectory from a life behind a rack of dresses in his grandmother’s bra and girdle store, to Manhattan’s fabled Payne Whitney Psychiatric Clinic, a fashionable Charenton for wealthy neurotics and Ivy League alcoholics. On Tuesday’s installment of “Leonard Lopate at Large,” Kathleen Hill and Steven Gaines join Leonard in-studio for a discussion about what makes a great memoir.
