Jill Lepore, NEW YORKER staff writer and two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist, is a captivating essayist and performer of her own writing. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Robin Whitten discuss hearing Lepore narrate her work, collecting essays from THE NEW YORKER. She narrates with an upbeat pace, and her voice blooms with enthusiasm. That enthusiasm, combined with humor and smarts, makes for enticing listening. Her essays are personal, and her emotional connection to the material is clear. Lepore is erudite, funny, and thought-provoking.
