Author Meets the Critics
Young'un
by
Author Meets the Critics brings writers face to face with a panel of critics to discuss books and ideas. The program’s appeal lies in hearing authors respond directly to questions and judgments about their work, rather than encountering literary criticism only on the printed page.
Presented as a radio discussion, the show offers listeners a lively exchange of opinions and perspectives. The subtitle “Young'un” identifies the subject associated with this recording, while the conversation format puts the focus on the participants’ words and the give-and-take of literary debate.
Its tone is thoughtful and conversational, with the immediacy of a public discussion: listeners can follow how a writer explains a work and how critics assess it. It offers an engaging glimpse of literary conversation on the radio.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
