Author Meets the Critics

You're the Boss

English · Radio, Literary Criticism

Author Meets the Critics brings writers face to face with reviewers to discuss books and the ideas behind them. The program’s conversational format centers on an author responding to critics’ questions and assessments, offering listeners a chance to hear literary disagreements and explanations directly from the people involved.

This recording is identified with the episode title “You’re the Boss.” The appeal lies in the exchange itself: a writer’s perspective meets the critics’ scrutiny, making the program a forum for discussion rather than a dramatic story. It offers a glimpse of how books were considered and debated on radio.
