A podcast about the “best” books

Literate is a podcast that goes through The New York Public Library’s “Books of the Century” list from the mid-1990s. Each episode focuses on one book, exploring its history and author, and asking whether it really is one of the books of the twentieth century. The hosts, literary scholars Erica Lombard and Alicia Broggi, also invite two experts onto each episode—from translators to writers to academics to the founder of a book museum.

Episode 15: Special mini-episode on "Books of the Century"

Guests: Ankhi Mukherjee, University of Oxford / Lynn Lobash, The New York Public Library
