Today on The Bob Edwards Show, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Gene Weingarten shared stories from his new collection, The Fiddler in the Subway: The Story of the World-Class Violinist Who Played for Handouts. . . And Other Virtuoso Performances by America's Foremost Feature Writer (S&S, 978-1439181591, $15.99). PW wrote “Entertaining and funny, Weingarten’s stories depict the poignancy of the human condition.”
The Leonard Lopate Show met with Ted Mooney, whose book is The Same River Twice (Knopf, 978-0307272737, $26.95). PW thought “Mooney fails to create engaging characters, and his overworked prose doesn't help matters much. An occasionally savory if predictable yarn.”
This evening, The Joy Behar Show guests include Ben Stein, co-author of The Little Book of Bulletproof Investing: Do's and Don'ts to Protect Your Financial Life (Wiley, 978-0470568057, $19.95).
Tonight, Tavis Smiley re-airs an interview with actress actress Pam Grier, whose memoir is Foxy: My Life in Three Acts (Grand Central Publishing, 978-0446548502, $24.99). PW wrote “In this prickly autobiography, the iconic actress is almost as hard-nosed toward lovers as her filmic alter -ego was toward enemies.”
