On this week’s Studio 360, some favorite recent segments about books. Kurt Andersen talks with Claudia Rankine about capturing what racism really feels like in Citizen: An American Lyric and to Helen Oyeyemi about her very un-Disney reimagining of Snow White. Writer Sadie Stein defends the word moist against all those who get the heebie-jeebies saying it. And novelists Richard Russo and Jenny Boylan talk about the big plot turns in their books—and in their friendship.
