Dear Daniel Pinkwater,
I want to thank you so much for the wonderful show that you do with Scott Simon. I have to admit that I have bought nearly ALL the books you read aloud and have only recently wised up and bought multiple copies so that my nephews, nieces and I can all have our own copies. It is such a treat to hear what sparks you in the books (and I love your aethetic sense!)
Many, many thanks. It’s one of my favorite NPR programs.
Cheers — Sue
Daniel replies:
I do pick good books. But, Scott Simon is a genius interviewer--he always brings out some point I didn't realize was there. And Sarah Beyer Kelly, who produces and edits those segments is a bigger genius than Scott, (or me), and makes a disjointed, and sometimes silly, conversation sound smooth and to the point. It's a big contrast to working with publishers, who tend to be corporate, to do something with smart, quick people.
