Author Meets the Critics

So This Is New York

English · Radio, Literary Criticism

Author Meets the Critics brings writers before a panel of reviewers for a discussion of their work. The program centers on the exchange between an author and critics, giving listeners a chance to hear a book considered from both its creator’s perspective and the reviewers’ points of view.

This recording is identified with So This Is New York. The title suggests a discussion focused on that work, while the program’s interview-and-critique format offers a thoughtful look at the ideas and judgments surrounding a book.

The appeal lies in hearing literary conversation unfold on the radio: direct, considered, and shaped by differing opinions rather than by dramatic action. It offers a snapshot of how a work was discussed by its author and critics.
