Piece Description
Two of our late great American authors, Susan Sontag and Norman Mailer visited the Live From Prairie Lights public radio program to read from, what was at the time, their latest works. Susan Sontag read from her last novel, "In America". Norman Mailer read from his book, "Time of Our Time," which was compilation of his fiction and nonfiction work. This program offers an intimate portrait of these two literary icons in their own words.
