From the auditorium of the New York Public Library on Fifth Avenue and forty second Street your city station presents this highlights broadcast of the first annual book festival participating in this afternoon's book quiz are some noted and highly literate members of the publishing world Clifton fadam an author and critic and moderator for this another radio broadcast Charles puir book reviewer of the New York Times Erwin Edmond author and professor of philosophy at Columbia University Alfred Kazan an author and critic and author wrists Jan Struthers. To open the program and further introduce his panel of experts here now as Clifton unfathomed. They didn't get up and left after No I'm just stop a festival on a note of discord we are going to try to create a little bad blood our words flood maybe between we are both from the critics as we line them up a potent feather in the book festival super duper literary quiz. Representing to put a critic to finally reintroduce them and by the great length we have an opportunity then New Yorker magazine contributor and author of a walker in the city and from the root flanked by his colleague Carol for the woody daily book reviewer of the New York Times and glaring love their affiliates the two critics the two authors the poet that they is director of creator of Mifflin of up against brother and the F.A. is like the first right dirty term philosopher author of The Last of the holiday cattle in the dark stuff that Irwin Edmund But here's how we work by the way I need hardly add to this is a completely unrelated ad lib program I'll start off by asking a question of the authors who happen to be on my left how if either of the two authors after the question correctly one point for their side which I scored people will mark Duff then I'll ask the question of the critics on my right and a few to answer the question directly one point for that that's a photo of the first team didn't question it after the neighborhood after the threat and looking at the other three and a crack at the same question but I think the other team can add to that clip from the first team fluffed on then two points would be scored for the team giving the correct after. Not that entirely clear maybe to become so to show off how these are the only ground rules for the rest of the use of profanity by your side deregulation Federal Communications Commission will fly river asked if we're ready I'm going to ask the scorekeeper not to score the first brick. Because in the first place I think it's too hard and the second place it's intended really at the tribute to break fifty states and to market for the opening of the world wide book festival so this is the kind of stuff free for all for effect at the bottom off of Main five books which include the name of one of New York's by far. The Although the name of the five boroughs you could give me a title and finding the name of any one of them the right up on my left founder of the Bronx mother of the Bronx yet who wrote it. But it fades out it goes up or down off a cold but yet the playwright of your birthright from New York I think I forgot that we got the frog. Is perhaps better frog first before we go off with that I'm getting in the happy and proud of what happened perhaps but without that on the yes excellent novel by Don both patterns that give the two bars out of three of those to be worked out with a good bit of the book or only that there is no Brooklyn by common book yet Magruder by her. I'm sure there are. By the way but not in Brooklyn X. the representative probably from the new style recently wrote a book called you've kept Libra put in not that you never have a book yet happened the lively of one up gives us to one of the few old I mean our Queen and the rich I don't need to find a title valise that not to which. You have to take that rich man you know her and know that if you. Had a little bird which. Well I'm sure that I suppose the fact I'm taking. My car. Might have been don't recollect it yet to do that for I find enrichment talk all of that out throughout the day in mind if you look at stuff get that far probably brother of the title got her to throw the book with the word with the. Current. Problem right now I have to leave that really just what we. All need where with the tragedy of why the track of you have wrecked the fragile you'll see by a recording yeah after your leg out looking at the poor people on the floor is really thinking about whether to run a couple of updates to the queen's face by Helen who left a letter about it. But we still have to. Go off. The grid if we where oh yeah that would have to fight for about five knots or however the thought of thought to be like contest and. Leave real but here we go I'll start with the OP and find it maybe four words to which the falling out with subtitles I get subtitles you give me like here's the first subtitle the skeleton in the cupboard. For me to drop it. And let them in the cup to suck. The air from the display at the top if not one of the past but a lot now see if I got it from the plate over there take your mail that's ready to rip through the W. from the more yeah up to the courts to the upright that critics over there are right the other way with great I've heard some people put up with more than that but have at that point all of the. Hospital in the book if you're not going to do the wrong drop I would make a fresh. It's the second subtitle. Of the title but here we are and the cattle are off and now I think I'll have to go over the cliff don't talk that. We're on the telly felt I don't nothing doing rather than. I laughed at or put your letter over. To put the goblet you look to the Bible thought good enough now over to my left here to the funky stuff I don't know what you will do with. The title if you don't get it right. Off and put it up as you're not fit yet for theft book that you are probably helped night or like you as a writer to look like what you will never happen I didn't know at that particular Calcutta lot that are going to get up for a good deal. Just to write out the next one the next subtitle bit of what I write predicts a novel with I'll think you know what I prefer the greatest What about all for reading. The for richer coverage no. Fan of the fact that the clothes I have I do not enough to be yours and didn't care for have that I'd be very very cold here in the UK I've got a quick quick recovery. Storekeepers now that you know why don't we do your part now back to October what characters in fiction always used for the following phrase if I have to meet up with pieces of eight but it was struck that first the parish. In Treasure Island like right. That awful thing I can come up with through the life but the day that the doctor saw walked up with nothing the kind of Treasure Island it would hold you up and there was a jam daughter Jim's a boy in. A truck rolled up truck to grown up boys have to play they are. Now with the little great self with what character that goes your case before we thought we'd take it away from them for we have no miracle Paro the borrowed will do whatever he is pretty detective in about eighty five percent of actor Christie story yet quite right there was a Belgian built fighter for Africa there's another brave the maybe the most of us back to the office now got to get the fifty pound wild dog that Kristen followed up. I figured I didn't have to fear for your place but it's clearly an American. Oh right you walk up to par with. Your young doctor. But after that when you're a frail you only want to cut the weight right there. For a dirty three hundred that's five in English work that had pretty well go over about the turn of the century I would say our little neck and neck expressed Each No it's the middle of the ninety's that dream about it was written about eighteen forty three OK to give up your point that volunteers only write critical it's not the definition but what I want to do can see it for if you look at. What I mean if praise of what the characters. When it's a Nicholas Nickleby mathematically you know I'm looking at their character of Nicholas Nickleby for right now that's one from a book that. I've ever gotten without you but years ago really class from time to time thank you to Obama years of whiskers. I would never got into the office to give us the last thought it would take from people like Milt I forgot what the flesh like that for. One year is but one of those who know what it's saying don't prefer. Whatever for the offical is from a child's booked up with the most famous I was one of the not quite bright and who upset all my years of whisky. You know you were stupid you want to know her was her yes I know but don't know know I caught up with it must have been the donuts no no danger at all. One of the cabbage that it doesn't have to wear skinny Oh yeah still up. OK after the test but who has whiskers outside of that nice us people don't yet have to ask. The famous character and I was one of the most fearful I'm going to be coaching here for my daughter what is. Happening not only for the fathers allowed for the biggest Oh my new years kiss now corrected I was one of them but the white rabbit that is still not quite right yes a little too late I think for. OK Perfect I forgot what do we know if you had a lot of critics but how do you guarantee all the luck. With a few up it. Doesn't much matter for the opening line for famous literary work identify the works just probably from putting lives on the line is the first opening line at rest for the critics the fish that was feeling rather seasick. But Southwind Norman Tucker all right for now back to the OP I was born in the year sixty six thirty five to fifty if you are a good friend and I like to have been have that without my permission that Robinson Yes I think often I do folks that know the pope quite right probably look at this. Their first opening sentence back to the critics call the issue. Probably day government now will never go over there perhaps the most magical opening line of the people that has the fourth opening line this is necessarily a top of the plate thank you author built in blood very simple who's there to. Get that. Food there. That's really if you drink drive to it there anybody there said the screen door I could tell you a secret could record we worked up at the for profit. Well let's do thank the play it is the most famous play here. All of the time rather than happy to send it to me. All right what's the situation at the tax break for the other three on the bafflement. For the guard Yes And one of the guard for us each a crisis the other tools there. Right now are don't know whether we should get but that that will cut up quite a. Shift. I think I'll take a big month off to start really first. Request on the back to critics here of the last March not the first but the last line for famous literary work is generally understood with you if you were the first life I am really to get to the last mile now this we'll see whether that is true or not this is the last. We're on the mercy of you Mr Richard put you up like me again. After last night thanks but we're working with all of the mercy of you Richard would you like to do the fairy tale I told you both please with yours than with myself which is going to go through one of the first chapters there is but Kate over here with Bridget giving us the first line to know the software doesn't know what I just read is the last part of her was. Looking down at what we thought about it up and. Through it through the last five weeks later not quite well all right because I got laughed like back to the office. All these things very surprising if you want that I'll take your support I mean for after the father of your right left right left right and conclude that one of you you're property of the temperature kept you just going to be getting somebody going to get the idea of the first half hour right here the last. On back to the pretty very few. Left. Now for follow suit screaming at me yet you already got my face right Moby Dick I mean now that the great crowd rolled out of the world five thousand years ago I'm now populist the last line you go with put up with the old you if you thought you'd be filled with filth and afraid that time left good news or go back I'm not saying that without laughing yes I could go to the left right of life not the right by the Left you think of for profit. While the last out of line of the drop of that money but the last line that if other did Bravo and that place in the audience of oh I am not going to stick to one lie we're going to come out with what you know a protector of right. Now off the hook for things. Like cookbooks of course probably no lightly I've done the best selling books of all but I think you know for thank you for letting me off for a couple other people will. Thank you for the fact. I predict the next wife. Of a place where you are not the God of the fiercely earth it left me with fish if I look up and write Mark oh no it's not Margaret I am an actor had to take three provided with that part of it like the book of life and the difficult part of the book now back to the author of the awful noise. The problem writing the. Beginning when I. Have to look after all that stuff that from forever there I'm going to talk about it because. I'll give you that I'm not going down that road a little. Good to go on. With. The book not good with the record ever brought up by Rob. Ford in private but I. Want to. Know that you have walked right. Into that book not going to talk with. Her addict. But. A parent will know. That I put the order and it was. All. America I don't think. Of the book but boy this is awful I cook five that not every week you know pundits and look I'm sorry you know I'm on but I try to we have a little bit more with the office. And with my mother here Mr fathom and perhaps twenty three house you know. All of. The lift. Off and walk. Out and finally down. The road Yes Oh we are both. Really are. You know I think that. You know the thought of being off of work to fight off and go through the hole left me feeling pretty awful. You don't think. The reason for it. But. It's got you know life off. Of one of the big things that I was. Doing. I've got to come up with a few for you. Like a brick. You do for the word fuck you're the one. That's going for it and what not to fall down. Because the first right before you feel. I do not know what I'm going to with your. Mouth over the cliff before parting with death. In respect to. Read the book I just probably would be happy to. Have. Your you would wonder you know. What I really want you would like to read through them all. Right. What. I'm going to look back to. When you were going to have fun but your idea doesn't work for people who would like to have the right. Words of public him. For right. Now but what. About the villain who put the pen. To the point. Zero zero zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero zero. Zero zero me currently. A lot better to frame the focus to find your drama come merilyn know how to craft our approach that for the film and hopefully you. Know. We're going to read Russell not just the fact. That's not what. The offer that. Brought. You to the opposite number of tough week old Jack for the night I would say that Stevenson was the one that was going to have the right to buy a book Working with me on it is better self and the better of it was done so that's what one would say really Yeah I have to take over one of the piece in your life for people who have to work or poly commit suicide I thought they were going to put the full effect what have you got. To. Sell now with what are you going to bother me now I want. To get better I. Think over the long run from the point you're off you're off for famous. Oh the more you. Want to write when you think about that anything was. Wrong with the critic effectively offset that. Or are. You going to go right. Go right to a rabbit rabbit hole so I have there are roughly I think you got the right. Guy I think the office name is Gabrielle coming over the boy to go or you know voting. For. It but don't let it affect. You but. Yes. I'm going to ignore what we've got to go on a Friday all the way back to our. Doing much to bring the. One I hope the fuck. Over here to the fact of the matter Maurice looked a lot more more more more like the head like that with a long white. House but no one not. Know your dad no one with. Whom the better protected probably. Would. Not have done it but nor do I All right I thought I looked out my life. Would be to miss the bigger Yes there are bigger world would be good enough but many of the festival. Where you. Have an empty lot in the. Good of the year you can do that. With the soft you. Know I think up with music and. We caught. Up with. Oh wait a second pepper paper you know but the bigger the better the pop. My. You know how do you know why do you think it is that I believe. That because they are very few detectives think that given a name standout is not a back up. But because I don't really know. What this. Well read. Your book you call it would put you in one of the things that. Sort of. I don't know from the movie so I think you know. Maybe in the play book both where you feel very good at least get much for your money get the gold back. But a lot of other folks will pop up and get. A lot of my praise dollar for dollar for that not there but you. Have a point you think you're. Telling me oh. I'm going to whatever cream queen you're written by who often work in collaboration whom a single through the numbers every great queen and who is actually going to skate in the world with us and I think. I really like her for the rest of the record for life a lot of them. And I would much rather. Not have credit for. Why we know there was three people to be three only that three that really prove that the left will make the right thing that will never happen. Let's get through with a novel that you are very very better off with Dolly said one of the one I think the worst of all the. Workplace we're. Not going to remember what we're really. Did look up how good luck factor off and look up when you were a real to a yes or no say what most. Yes I mean I think we already know that we've got. Automobile Manufacturers yet to make. Up for that. And I think. What. I would guess not. Yet. Oh we'll have all. But what the fuck are. You with a doctor. In the county about how to break or you might prefer to get them in the car you know them but we never take. The. Center of the sort of left where the no wait Sylvania you know we. Call for prayer yes or no just make that. You wind up over the prairie of course quite radical was not right but yes part of Dr just. Thought. I finally let me predict the request yes. Well no one newspaper editor quite right but you can't take it with you more nor. I am happy to hear. But you can't take it with. Goodness not. Find out for your member to reveal his play George Carlin's left here. That that I'm having. My way just refresh our memory of what was a kind of you know. Madison fascism in America. That. Got. Filled out after my c M M. Like this so you know if you look at your life in the middle of. Another name for. Instance a. Little while before. Coming where they can probably first really light gray in a forty four. Or five toilet what forty eight people. At a party. That would. Have you know. What that feels or make a documentary. In a novel but I just didn't know we was like you're writing a book for me it was Dr little. Fix it so I thought what. Wrote. All that was. Who was invited to write I love the auto What do ya think. The structure of the car I guess and yeah but I didn't know who was invited Well I don't think they know what this character what happened apparently that story. You know ranking never really feeling well he is the victim of the apology matter of course feel some up in the wind so that right up until the murder of may know the burglary the meter reader. Or to the off point for writing I want to play by the way that Dr that is. Going to have so many more that. I was under the impression that the auto was left wide right. Great part there but quite mistaken very little about why really anything quite. Everything in the way we're going to figure out what the rest of the story right who drowned in a puddle Mo Mo why didn't you know and that's why I got rid of that. No it's the best feeling that I could cause i. Don't want to have to go out with a barrel of wine and bombs were dropped because if some joke of tyrants or other wasn't it would be the only do the right thing to come with that made me tell them do not wish. Me Well anyway this one yet despite the story about the fire but what. About six kids like right school police officers who want every possible with the critics right sad to say see me again Sir John Foster Yes What a night. What is a fact is the sheriff there come from Sec of projects probably is. Not made that only. Something like the one we got one plane in Montreal it was a very dry show yesterday right right right but the people. Don't know what it was. Filled with which you don't get to force your switch to. Break through to you like to act. Like a. Novice little baby X. practice to enter. The. House with democratic practice all that something here I liked it practically said I know you're well you know. Where off the wall that's really just going to look like a very. Much bump off. But who likes to be crackling while it's all laugh. That's a very famous dissertation of groups. That. Make you when you have to remember he speaks with great relish for the outer skin looking good only going to get more out of the race for the right Very. Very. Good. Where are one for that matter move where we're. At the end of A Christmas Carol when the lovable dear family. I repaired with gaffer Ralph Yeah rather than whatever we're prepared for and. Fought off and well if you like the fire back by. The on the food the very beginning of the third in the thing you're going up get up early and. What fruit or part of that level what if what if about your marble and something between a bread and the. One. You want what the purpose of the world record for a reader we don't know group in Europe quite a warning in the garden flock on reflecting on the night Graham opened with the grandmother of Maria who are more not very reverberate through that movement what of now if you could comprehend the Big twelve on Sunday morning. After the first that was only perfection and that that's exactly. What it. Felt. A little more. Brilliant even. If they could have done I want to. Go. Though it might be the life of the movement here but I think the problem of the right. Age moment. Not right. L.O.L. was. A. Little old for forty five I am a proud moment I don't like born but part of what. Happened for the right was the first to look to see if. Going on something over something of them a. Few minutes worth of in the car a song that's current not comedy you know. But he said listen if you want to present me I'm going to look for a lot more to get the lead up to what. I can write more well I hope you're gratified. Yup I have your card list for all the. While for fun if you don't like her but if nobody makes you both you know. For a second or two of the googling for her play the number right they like about you the way. You do or. Predictor but things like the birth of. Our there are those that don't really know a little bit now open your heart. A little bit what. Thomas hasn't and it's only said contemporary. With another person answer that. But I think it lets me not assume then. That Is dead but about it left. Out a question with. The thought. That what. Looks good go. For greed memory good more when you know that I'm not retired the middle of it is. There's no awful lot of. By belittling the Second Temple Have you ever written what companies would give an hour off that come out of. Her. Property Dr had to go over cop car. Now I know I can vote. Them out of the news about that one. But. For living my life till now back to the credit of the games I had only good after a few people predicted for good lads don't know me don't I'm out back to the cliff again side. I side with for this may seem improbable with not a fit but you spell that yes I plan to go to I mean I will just wife and S.T.R. I see OK. This is right for me but no. Sorry must admit I found it up. Well before Pearl sighting Stricker park. Now if I ask you for learned people wouldn't see anything like that but in common between every move that's when the before you know you know the perp walk I've got what I'm going to run with nobody would know that I'm When you got two out of that's nothing but fine with the other and we all know the number already on a thing you know nothing about I'm not sure where all up more of the look for me do when they'll write letters for you don't know what's up with know about what happened what fictitious effective government got them what sounds good with the following limit. Tell me you can thank you evolutionary theory of things that I mean yes this is a champion started says is. Not for momentum and it never knew that and that's something that you've got right now it was and let's not let Mark we have a. If you did not hear any back for the then you know we had our first look at the feeder with a lot of Beatles with yeah. Right you have to put it up and left but yeah and I think the effect of merit if for the case about now that bastard's kind of on your back right. Now critics now on the street. Associated with a statement of fact number three. Well the thing I would accept in your own family. Yet not quite right what's left of Perry may very much. Do they have about forty four now they never know never that that's not a matter of fact I don't think you can say for that. Sort of guff about what about in this case they'll be OK if you say they're all of a different problem and if you were in associating with a friend with a second. Story. I think the fuck not good at the reading that maybe that like all I. Was part of that was twenty five or I don't know now I'm shocked the third quarter of the dollars twenty five I think it would have been much better for your friend no no. You don't look like that. Yet by the way you're not that we didn't know your. Fellow that much that much thought of that but I. Know what I promised not to go home yet not that I want to not that we're going to write immorality. Off I'm going to. Put up with those. Started sucking the blood to thank you just keep your left home quite right and he never married her in fact I never saw her again after that we always had a picture and he called her the woman I just. Love and means NO NO NO NO NO and the best again. This is not the only two legged animal that. Doesn't stick to Detective Flores it's not just a small light and comfortably but in the distance on the bottom one would never have seen you never been able to start doing all kinds of stuff that set up. You've got. The perfect right from. The opening round of the set of the no I think it's a radio program and I also do not listen I think that Arabian I guess I don't like it. But it's too good. Yet it will miss the fabulous run of stuff to open up. My mind probably the hear thing there's no value as a story in which you were going on and off and not affecting your system on your. On. One hundred two point four percent of a school. You know I'm going online definitely that's the person I did on the normal topographical two things that I walked. Out of that this one never be. That what you want. It's the first name of Maque light and the second name. Because they're only going to I'm not addicted parents don't know enough to go to the. Books. Gone with the line with you now our. Bodies in with the year. Run out and. Buy less time in stores now how about this one let's detectives never hear that a year. At the office. Not. That it's Rory mind you told me yes exactly happen is that why in the on with my part of the last minute I doubt the element means it's pretty obvious I'm. Now critics think this was practically never moved hardly ever moved Yeah well there are a lot of very good stories written by people. Rex about it let's stop enough. Now. If we can get that. You're up for payment All right. As Now after just right on the first appearance name a character the author and work. Bottom left that's the man with friends to their plot might be part of an agitated scientific world with the spearing of temple that. The famous parrot anything let's not let's not. It sounds to me like to. Know that you know that my of your beloved by I would have kept it but if then if you want to go ahead in our country that's a big but when you're growing up in my family study class not. One of the three or one of that happened if you can stick with it now here's a text description although I've got back. Next month I think it's one of the next rifles to stop heavily built young man phones pop Yes but like television which is. A very high ruffle of the brown dress coat that's the case is that Pierre and warm be part of the record that said it looked like a band cut away from the state when the pirates overwhelmingly wasted all the money that consuming but taking away one part of that compact robust gets its own broad high form seemed made of solid rock shape in an automobile move like Jimmy needs that's terrific. That. Doesn't make me want to meet Well you know I'm a very pleasant these are dominating one it's going to feel it kept me happy they haven't told me that by now Bill. And I think that's about all the time I'm going to give us your feet for right now. Not a monocle something now having made the final result of this sanguinary contest and it seems that the critics twenty nine and the offer was only fourteen. You're here for this but I think that's. Like I said above I want to not put in a making them and I want to thank the struggle and women who want to confuse and and very good afternoon to all our listeners and all the listening in your selling programs for the rest of the book festival thank you one of the all.
