Some Fierce Thing Replete With Too Much 'Rage'

Jonathan McNicol
/
Connecticut Public Radio

Bob Woodward is 77 years old. He's in his 50th year at The Washington Post. And he just yesterday published his 20th book.

Rage is Woodward's second book about the Trump presidency. Two years ago, on the day after the first one came out, we did a show about it.

So we've gotten that band mostly back together again, and we've spent the last 30 or so hours cramming.

This hour, a look at Rage as a chronicling of our current history and as a publishing phenomenon.

GUESTS:

  • David Adams - Reviews editor at Publishers Weekly
  • Susan Campbell - A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and the author, most recently, of Frog Hollow: Stories from an American Neighborhood
  • Jacques Lamarre - A playwright and the director of client services at Buzz Engine

Join the conversation on Facebook and Twitter.

Colin McEnroe and Cat Pastor contributed to this show.
