The BookExpo America Authors Reading Club

Two months ago, at BookExpo America, I conducted an interview with Pat Conroy and Patrick Hennessey touching upon the books they have coming out later this year: Conroy’s My Reading Life and Hennessey’s The Junior Officers Reading Club. I was delighted by the opportunity to take part in this conversation; over the course of fifty minutes, I heard some wonderful, inspiring stories from both authors—and being on hand as Conroy, who has been connecting with readers for four decades, dispensed some powerful advice to Hennessey on the eve of his American debut (his memoir is already out in the U.K.).

I hope you enjoy watching (or listening to) this interview as much as I enjoyed participating in it. And thank you to BookExpoCast.com for sharing this event, and many other events that took place at this year’s convention, with us.
