Books That Talk

Scribner Australia

This isn’t a podcast about your favourite book, or the book that changed your life. It’s a podcast about the book or books that you’re still in conversation with. This could be a book you reread in order to keep that conversation alive, or a book you return to simply in your mind, turning over its ideas, its scenes or images. It’s not the book that impresses others or makes you sound fabulous: it’s the book that never stops talking to you.
