Episode Details

Sheryl welcomes writer and teacher Francine Prose to the program. She is the former president of the PEN American Center and author of 15 books of fiction as well as a host of non-fiction works, including “Reading Like a Writer.” Her latest book takes on a classic, which has been a best seller for more than 50 years, but is also one of the country's most banned books. “Anne Frank: The Book, The Life, The Afterlife” has just been published by HarperCollins. Francine Prose helps us see the diary with new eyes and we can re-appreciate this young girl's zest for life and extraordinary talent.
