BOOK TALKS by Uli baer

The human need for self-expression is fundamental and deep. It precedes the political organization of social life. Speaking out for oneself, on one’s own terms, is essential to our existence. Literature, originally probably story-telling, song, and prayer, is the manifestation of this deep urge. The Book Talks section of this podcast is devoted to books and authors who introduce new voices and expressions to the world — or who make manifest voices, experiences and stories that have always existed but not been recognized as having universal significance and meaning.
