Susan Larson, the former Times-Picayune books editor (and all-around God's gift to the New Orleans literary community) will begin hosting "The Reading Life," a new show dedicated to all things bookish, on WWNO-FM Nov. 23. The show, with interviewer Fred Kasten, will run on Tuesdays from 6:30-7:00 pm, and feature author interviews, a literary calendar and other news. "The Reading Life" will be sponsored by Octavia Books, the Uptown book shop owned by Tom Lowenburg and Judith Lafitte.
To celebrate, Octavia Books will be holding a reception this Saturday (Oct. 16) from 2-5 pm at the shop at 513 Octavia St., with food, music and local authors in attendance. The public is invited.
