This morning, Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin visited Today with their bestselling Skinny Bitch (Running Press, $13.95). The two women, both former models, offer a no-holds-barred approach to being thin and fabulous
On The Diane Rehm Show, conservative journalist and pundit Robert Novak introduced The Prince of Darkness: 50 Years Reporting in Washington (Crown Forum, $29.95). From PW’s review: “Novak's insider perspective, vitriolic pen and damn-the-torpedoes frankness make it a lively and eye-opening account of big-foot journalism.”
Authors on today’s Leonard Lopate Show:
Julia Alvarez celebrated Once Upon a Quinceanera: Coming of Age in the USA (Viking, $23.95; Penguin Audio unabridged CD, $39.95). From PW’s starred review: “Both sympathetic and critical, she doesn't dismiss the event as a waste of hard-earned savings or as a mere display of daughters for the marriage market; nor does she endorse it as the essential cultural tradition connecting Latinas to their roots. Instead, Alvarez wants readers to focus on creating positive, meaningful rites of passage for the younger generation.”
Professor Regina Herzlinger wondered Who Killed HealthCare? America's $2 Trillion Medical Problem - and the Consumer-Driven Cure (McGraw-Hill, $24.95).
Bob Edwards interviewed Susan Richards Shreve, author of Warm Springs: Traces of a Childhood at FDR's Polio Haven (Houghton Mifflin, $24), which PW’s review called an “eloquently written memoir… The writing of this beautifully told story is delicate and precise, even as she calls into question her own memories.”
