Mail Art, Memos, Goethe

Kurt Andersen and novelist Jhumpa Lahiri explore how letters feed our creativity. We’ll hear how a novel made up of letters sparked a suicide wave in 18^th century Germany. We get a peek at the inner workings of a Hollywood mogul in the outrageous memos dictated by David O. Selznick, who produced Gone with the Wind. And Kurt calls some of the listeners who sent amazing mail art to Studio 360.
