Summer Reading Suggestions from Nancy Pearl

Aired on Thursday, July 8th.

Our old friend and colleague Nancy Pearl joins us on StudioTulsa to offer some can't-miss summer reading suggestions: fiction, non-fiction, poetry, memoir, and so forth. A bestselling author, retired librarian, and longtime resident of the Seattle area, Nancy (who's also a former Tulsan) has been making occasional recommendations to book-loving KWGS listeners for decades. It's good to hear from her again. Here are the titles that she tells us about today --
 
Kendra Atleework: "Miracle Country" / 
 
Eula Biss: "Having and Being Had" / 
 
Jericho Brown: "The Tradition" / 
 
Peter Grainger: "Accidental Death" / 
 
Oliver Harris: "Stealth Intelligence" / 
 
Rónán Hession: "Leonard and Hungry Paul" / 
 
Dervla McTiernan: "The Ruin" / 
 
Sigrid Nunez: "Mitz" / 
 
Margery Sharp: "Rhododendron Pie" / 
 
Maggie Shipstead: "The Great Circle"
