by

Hosts Sandra Newman and Catherine Nichols choose one book for each year of the twentieth century (Nella Larsen’s Passing, 1936, Jacqueline Susann’s Valley of the Dolls, 1966; Mohandas Gandhi’s Indian Home Rule, 1909) and talk about it in its historical and literary context. Join the hosts and their special guests to find out what the 20th century was all about.
