Publisher's Summary:
Bruce Katz is a vice president at the Brookings Institution and co-author of The Metropolitan Revolution. Katz says that while the federal government is gridlocked by partisan politics and abstractions, in city governments across the country, local politicians are able to work together and accomplish concrete goals. He talks with Bob about this power inversion and details whats happening in cities such as New York, Denver, Chicago, Houston and Los Angeles.
Then, in his glowing review of her new novel, Flora, John Irving describes Gail Godwin as a present-day George Eliot our keenest observer of lifelong, tragically unwitting decisions. The narrator of Godwins book is 10-year-old Helen Anstruther, who has just lost Nonie, the grandmother who raised her after her mother, Lisbeth, died when she was 3. The setting is the summer of 1945, Helens father has just left town to do more secret work for World War II in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and she is left in the care of her mothers 22-year-old cousin, Flora. What happens to Helen and Flora that summer will make Helen the woman (and writer) she becomes. [Broadcast Date: June 26, 2013]
