Publisher's Summary:
In this hour, no book has won more raves this year than Katherine Boos nonfiction portrait of a Mumbai slum. A stunning work of journalism, Behind the Beautiful Forevers takes us into the heart of a squatters' settlement where the main economy is trash picking.
Next, photojournalist Brendan Bannon has documented refugee crises, epidemics, drought and poverty throughout Africa. He's committed to bringing Western audiences stories that reflect Africa as more than just a place of deep tragedy. The Africa he sees is also full of vitality and inventiveness.
Then, Pir Zubair Shah risked his life reporting for the New York Times from Waziristan, in the heart of the Taliban-controlled Pashtun area in Pakistan. In the course of his reporting, he was detained by both the Taliban and Pakistani government forces. His work won a Pulitzer Prize, but he was forced to leave the country for his personal safety.
After that, Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich -- hosts of the hit public radio show Radiolab. They make witty, sparkling radio about huge ideas. They also challenge a lot of assumptions about what it means to practice journalism. They hang out in their studio with Steve and chat about radio, science and a lot more...
Following that, Tom Wolfe is back! And in his trademark white suit, no less. The writer whose name was synonymous with the New Journalism movement of the 60's and 70's has unleashed a new piece of journalistic fiction. In this interview, he talks about "Back to Blood", Miami, immigration, journalism, the contemporary art world and his sartorial panache.
And finally, what's the best piece of reporting you encountered this year? TTBOOK listeners recommend these stories. We'll add new suggestions as they come in. [Broadcast Date: December 19, 2012]
