The Weekly Reader

Ben Fountain Special: "Devil Makes Three" and "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk"


Listen Later

Sometimes the release of a new title by a great author is a welcome excuse to explore their previous work. On this edition of The Weekly Reader, we review Ben Fountain’s latest novel, Devil Makes Three and an earlier, well-loved work  Lynn's Long Halftime Walk. 

Marion Winikwill be in conversation with Ben Fountain on Monday October 9 at 7 pm, at Politics and Prose in DC.

All titles available at The Ivy Bookshop and other fine local retailers.
