Best Books Of 2012

Interview:
http://onpoint.wbur.org/2012/12/06/best-books-2

It may not have a cover anymore.  It may be pixels on a screen.  But a book is still a book.  Big, rich, deep – and, when it’s good, transporting.  Transforming.  The books of 2012 have ranged wide.  From the slums of Mumbai to deep North Korea.  From the court of Henry VIII to the ranch of LBJ.

From war to love, to family and clan, to mega-selling sex talk.  Gone Girl.  Round House.  Dog Stars.  Journeys.  Richard  Ford.  Katherine Boo.  Junot Diaz.  Chris Ware.

This hour, On Point:  we’re looking at the best books of 2012.
