Books That Changed My Mind: New York City

The Brian Lehrer Show | Dec 11, 2014

As patrons nominate their libraries for the NYC Neighborhood Library Awards, The Brian Lehrer Show talks to writers about "Books That Changed My Mind." Today: Love or leave New York City with Sari Botton, the editor of the anthologies Good Bye to All That and Never Can Say Goodbye: Writers on Their Unshakable Love for New York (Touchstone, 2014). (She herself left NYC for upstate.) She's joined by novelist (and New Yorker) Alexander Chee, who contributed to the second. Has a book ever changed your mind about where to live?
