Author Meets the Critics

A Treasury of the Spoken Word

English · Radio, Literary Criticism

Author Meets the Critics brings writers before a panel of critics for a discussion of books and ideas. The program centers on the exchange between an author speaking about their work and critics offering questions, reactions, and differing perspectives.

Presented as a radio conversation, the show gives listeners a chance to hear literary discussion unfold through direct questions and responses. Its appeal lies in the contrast between the author's account of a book and the critics' interpretations, making the program a thoughtful forum for exploring writing and its reception.
