For decades Michael has read almost all of a writer's work, not just the book which has been most recently published.

Close friend of Michael Silverblatt's and Bookworm editor for 30 years, Alan Howard guest hosts this episode on grief and loss. When the two met more than 33 years ago, Michael's first words were, "What are you reading?" It was a question that brought Howard back to literature. Over the years, Michael did the same for thousands of listeners. With Bookworm, he was determined to return literary fiction and poetry to the center of the zeitgeist.
