Keep LARB free.
Donations to LARB keep us paywall-free. If you’ve read a piece of ours, tuned in to the LARB Radio Hour, attended an event: please consider giving today. Through January 9, all donations will be matched.
Günter Grass' recent death had us wondering whether we can read authors whose personal lives offend us, considering Grass' history as a member of the Waffen-SS during WWII. We also discuss which authors or books we're ashamed of enjoying, and Laurie apologizes for a word she used on last week's show.
Featuring Tom Lutz, Laurie Winer, and Seth Greenland. Produced by Jerry Gorin.
