Review of The Writers Studio, featuring Nicholson Baker

Thoughtful, wide-ranging interview about all manner of stuff: writing, reading, aging, reviews ("getting reviewed by the NYT"s Michiko Kakutami is like having your liver removed without anesthesia"...), influences, early work, later work. Baker is a good talker and the host is an easy conversationalist. Baker does several readings and suprisingly the Q and A isn't bad. Among other things, Nicholson Baker is a prose stylist of the small, the mundane, the tiny. After listening to this hour you feel a certain kind of inspiration to go outside and look around and see if you've been missing anything.
