This summer a number of first time novelists are enjoying great success... Jonathan Saffron Foer, Steven Carter and Alice Sebold to name a few.

Guests:

Jonathan Safron Foer, Author of "Everything is Illuminated"

Carl Lennertz, Publisher Program director at Book Sense and former Marketing Vice President for Randomhouse books.
