Author Meets the Critics

Warlords of Washington

von

Author Meets the Critics brings writers before a panel of critics for a discussion of a book and the ideas behind it. The program centers on the exchange between an author defending or explaining a work and critics questioning its arguments, evidence, and implications.

Listeners hear a conversational radio forum rather than a dramatized story: the interest lies in the participants’ differing perspectives and the way a book’s claims are tested in discussion. The title identifies this installment’s subject as Warlords of Washington.

The result is a compact encounter with literary and public debate, offering a chance to hear how a work is received and challenged by informed interlocutors.
