Listening to Authors in Toronto

Last week The Globe and Mail Open House Festival was held at the University of Toronto, with readings and panel discussions featuring primarily authors associated in some way with Random House or its imprints. The Globe and Mail now has a page of audio from a number of the authors speaking at the festival, including Jay McInerney, Calvin Trillin, Zoe Heller, Anne Michaels, David Wroblewski (The Story of Edgar Sawtelle) and Joseph O’Neill, who recently won the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction for Netherland. There are thirteen authors on the page now, with two more to be added.  You can listen directly from the page to each of the authors, or download the podcasts to listen later.
