216: Marie-Helene Bertino's BEAUTYLAND & Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's THE LITTLE PRINCE
In This Episode:
Marie-Helene Bertino drops into the Damn Library to discuss her latest triumph, Beautyland. Marie-Helene goes into how she creates some of the book's indelible, otherworldly moments, and why the book's writing process was charmed. Plus, she brought along The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, a book that is much more powerful when you're not translating it for french class. Books are back, baby!
