Watching the World and Remembering Dylan Thomas

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 1, 2014

Please Explain is all about eyes and how they process what we see. Teju Cole talks about his latest novel, Every Day Is for the Thief. Then, we’ll mark the 100th birthday of Dylan Thomas with a special co-production with the BBC—we’ll explore Thomas’s childhood in Wales, his time in NYC, and we’ll hear from some of his fans, like President Jimmy Carter!
