For years, listeners have been requesting an episode devoted to the French novelist, journalist, playwright, and public intellectual Émile Zola (1840-1902). In this episode, Jacke talks to author Robert Lethbridge, whose new book Émile Zola: A Determined Life presents a comprehensive exploration of the life, work, and times of the celebrated French literary polymath. PLUS Jacke takes a look at some news that a ghost story by Graham Greene - perhaps the only one he ever wrote - has recently emerged from the literary graveyard. AND FINALLY Russian-American poet and co-editor of The Penguin Book of Russian Poetry Irina Mashinski stops by to discuss her choice for the last book she will ever read.
