Our main focus is on book events—why from a publisher’s perspective they can be frustrating, what makes them interesting (or not), etc. But we also talk a bit about Occupy Wall Street and books that we hope are in the OWS library.

Oh, and as can only be expected, we talk about the St. Louis Cardinals and the World Series. (This post would’ve been up earlier, but it’s taking a while to recover from last night’s loss . . . Which, in all respects, was an INCREDIBLE game.)

Anyway, the first line of the podcast sums it all up and provides a perfect preview of what to expect.

The music this week is from Grouplove’s Never Trust a Happy Song. It reminds Nate of listening to “120 Minutes” in his youth, and feeling sort of nostalgically sad. I think it’s pretty catchy.

We recorded the first half on Wednesday and speculated about who was going to win this year’s Nobel Prize in Literature and talked about the odd and awesome British practice of betting on the winner. The second half we recorded yesterday, after we found out that Tomas Transtromer—who is published by New Directions—was this year’s recipient of the prize.
