The POLITICS AND PROSE Bookstore has an amazing online source for sharing Interviews, Lectures & Book Openings on YouTube.

In the video down below you can check out Jane Mayer’s interview with Lawrence Wright (author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning “The Looming Towers “) where they discuss his latest book, “The End of October” (Knopf, Book Cover designed by Chip Kidd).

About the Book:

“The action begins at an internment camp in Indonesia, where Dr. Henry Parsons has been sent by WHO to investigate a deadly outbreak of acute hemorrhagic fever. The situation quickly escalates when an infected man joins the Hajj to Mecca, and Parsons, working with a Saudi Prince and Doctor, has to find a way to quarantine millions of pilgrims even as he struggles to determine whether the disease is an act of bio-warfare, as the deputy director of homeland security claims.”

The Eisner Award–nominated tribute to Charles M. Schulz—newly repackaged for the 70th anniversary of Peanuts is due to hit book stores on September 1st, 2020.

Charles M. Schulz believed that the key to cartooning was to take out the extraneous details and leave in only what’s necessary. For 50 years, he wrote and illustrated Peanuts, the single most popular and influential comic strip in the world. Renowned designer Chip Kidd was granted unprecedented access to the extraordinary archives of the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center in Santa Rosa, California. Only What’s Necessary reproduces the best of the Peanuts newspaper strip, all shot from the original art by award-winning photographer Geoff Spear, and features exclusive, rare, and unpublished original art and developmental work—much of which has never been seen before.
