Gilbert Cruz

I'm Gilbert Cruz, and this is The Book Review from The New York Times.

Today, we are delighted to share an episode from our colleagues over on The Ezra Klein Show.

It's an interview with Michael Pollan.

You probably have heard of Michael Pollan.

He has written several bestselling books, including The Omnivore's Dilemma, In Defense of Food, and How to Change Your Mind.

His latest book came out earlier this year, and it's called A World Appears, A Journey into Consciousness.

It's an exploration of what consciousness is.

And the book is, as our review says, highly pleasurable to read.

The conversation Pollen has with Ezra is also highly pleasurable.

I hope you enjoy it.

This is the Book Review from The New York Times.

And today we have two conversations on the show.

We're going to hear from Patricia Cornwell, author of the award-winning forensic thrillers featuring the beloved character, Case Carpetta.

Those books have now been made into a series starring Nicole Kidman.

Cornwell is out with a new memoir, and it is quite a surprising story.

We're going to hear all about it.

But first, the Pulitzers were announced this week, and the big prize, the prize for fiction, went to Daniel Krauss for his book, Angel Down.

Daniel Krauss.

I got to call Daniel the morning after the announcement to talk about this crazy book of his and to hear how he was thinking about what this all means for him and the types of stories that he writes.
