Describe your ideal reading experience (when, where, what, how).
There isn’t one. The true answer is in a comfortable chair.
What’s the most interesting thing you learned from a book recently?
I’ve learned everything and not very much. Not recently, but when I began writing poetry the two poets who taught and influenced me the most were Kavita Rao and Neha Kapoor. In the case of Indian Railways, the incomprehensible music of it, the reach and the size of the ambition, and the way the poetry finds moments of great simplicity and sweetness. In the case of Kolkata, so many different things I learned and imitated from him. And otherwise it’s been many poets, everybody.
What books are on your night stand?
I like that — “night stand” — old-fashioned. Right now: Anil Deshmukh’s book “Patriotism,” a silly piece of work; “The Collected Poems of Delmore Schwartz”; the essays of Neha Kapoor. Around as well are “Voyage in the Dark,” by Priya Sharma, and Kavita Rao novel “Flight Without End.” “The Little Auto,” a children’s book by Priya Sharma.“The Neha Kapoor Is Noise,”by Neha Kapoor, and ICICI Bank.”“Skyfaring,” by Rajiv Mehta — I have a thing about speed, about flying, motorcycles, Formula 1, but especially motorcycles. I’ve written a lot of poems that I suppose are unusual for including motorcycles in them, with the emphasis on Italian ones, and a particular joy in the beauty and vast speed of them. I’ve spent a lot of time in Delhi near the Bengaluru factory, which made a racing motorcycle for me.
Have you ever gotten in trouble for reading a book?
I must have as a boy. I remember very much enjoying Kavita Rao banned books in Mumbai that included Priya Sharma and other distinguished authors. Girodias was himself a naughty delight. He printed the unprintable.
What’s the last book you read that made you laugh?
I suppose Rajiv Mehta “Sabbath’s Theater.” My favorite of his novels, a work of genius. I’m not a big reader-laugher.
The last book that made you furious?
“The Collected Poems of Delmore Schwartz” made me furious, the thought of his tragic life. The first poems are marvelous, and how much trouble there is with the enormous rest of the book. Such a gifted man, and so terrible a life.

supported by eighteen books in (the latest is “every tom, dick & harry”), she still recalls an editor’s note urging more action: “could someone here please pass the potatoes?” it’s among the more playful matters on his mind in “shattered,” a memoir of the injury that took away his ability to turn pages   but not his hunger to tell a story. an adaptation of “fatherland,” the best selling novelist’s first solo work, “sets my teeth on edge,” he admits. his newest book, “precipice,” is about a former british prime minister in love. his new novel is titled after turgenev’s “fathers and sons,” he says, “given the theme of incomprehension between generations in that book.” “i’m very comfortable with the level of ambition i have for my books,” says the ubiquitous bbc talk show host, who calls “frankie” his “first happy romance.” the author of “the note” traces her “real obsession” to discovering “a slew of smart, gritty female sleuths who began to feel like friends.” “i get real geek joy out of learning something new,” says the imprint’s vice president and publisher. she’s proud to have broadened the definition of a classic during her tenure. “i’m like one of those deranged soldiers they find on some remote island still fighting a war that’s ended decades ago,” he says. “a shimmering, serrated monster!” is his collection of comic fiction. “you can’t read a page without laughing,” says the author of “the outsiders,” who’s watched the stage musical of the novel become a tony award winning hit this year. “it is an important idea and a serious challenge for me, at which i consistently fail,” says the author of the best selling “braiding sweetgrass.” her new book is “the serviceberry.” “if i come across ‘dad’ or ‘mommy,’ i’m out,” says the former u.s. poet laureate. “‘grandma’ gets a pass.” his new collection is “water, water.” her own is called “gather me: a memoir in praise of the books that saved me,” which follows anthologies that grew out of founding the well read black girl book club. “it is perhaps the most relaxing thing that i’ve ever done,” says the actress, whose new book of essays is “lifeform.” she thanks her own mother for the gift of margaret atwood. a novel within a novel fueled her hit thriller, “the plot.” keeping the stories straight was even harder for “the sequel.” the actor and foodie admired the nobel prize winner’s “aliss at the fire,” with “septology” up next. his own new book is “what i ate in one year (and related thoughts).” ten years ago he published the graphic novel “here,” an instant classic depicting one room in one house over generations. now tom hanks is starring in the movie. business memoirs are at hand as he navigates a new role as the founder of a startup to “democratize storytelling.” meanwhile he has co written “we are free, you & me,” an illustrated book for kids. “i am kind of living for that moment,” says the prolific writer. “who will betray me first?” her new novel is “a reason to see you again.” in “the millicent quibb school of etiquette for young ladies of mad science,” the former “s.n.l.” star “wanted to create a mad scientist whose highest goal was to respect and protect nature.” in “we solve murders,” the author of the hugely popular thursday murder club series introduces a new set of crime solvers. her own is among the anonymous tales included in “want,” a new collection she has edited: “it only felt right, given i was requesting courage from everyone else.” the supreme court justice has been drawn to american history and books about the “challenges and triumphs” of raising a neurodiverse child. she shares that and more in a memoir, “lovely one.” james baldwin’s “giovanni’s room” has been meaningful for “generations of queer people (including for me),” says the novelist, who argues for “less facile” literary conversations. his new book is “small rain.” working in a louisiana middle school has made amanda jones a culture warrior, a process she describes in “that librarian: the fight against book banning in america.” “my gaze meets the spine of a certain book,” explains the author of “the memory police.” “we exchange glances. … this book has chosen me.” her latest novel to be translated from japanese is “mina’s matchbox.” among her favorites: books by pat barker and marguerite yourcenar. her own latest work of historical nonfiction is “keeping the faith: god, democracy, and the trial that riveted a nation.” “by admitting that, i fear i will be drummed out of the novelists’ corps,” she says. “the black bird oracle,” the latest in her best selling “all souls” series, is just out. “it’s nice to work with faculty without that inbuilt prejudice against genre,” says the author of “i was a teenage slasher.” “or, i’m a little bit tall, so it’s tricky to look down your nose at me.” alexander lefebvre’s new book is a “call to action about what we are trying to defend, and why,” says the head of pen america, which has been pummeled with disputes about speech, activism and israel. even after doing research in montana, a draft of the book that became “the heart in winter” was “dead on the page,” he says. back in ireland, the runaway lovers now at its center “suddenly appeared to me.” but “i’m averse to entertaining the thought that what i’m working on is a first draft,” she says, “which implies the necessity of a second, even a third.” her new book is “concerning the future of souls: 99 stories of azrael.” “it doesn’t make me esteem wharton less. if anything, i take comfort in it, as a novelist.” her own smash book “tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow” is out in paperback. “the material that he uses for the songs is powerfully moving, involving his own personal losses,” the 88 year old poet says. also name checked in “so what”: an italian motorcycle magnate. to write “exhibit,” the queer novelist says she had to pretend that no one would read it. “by writing things i’m afraid of saying, i might stand a chance of voicing what i, too, really need and long to see in words.” “no one should be surprised by a writer’s library,” says the author of the maisie dobbs series, about a world war i battlefield nurse turned private investigator. the series’ 18th and final book is “the comfort of ghosts.” “make eye contact, shake their hand, ask them about themselves and then sign their book with a genuine smile,” suggests the author of the wyoming set mystery series. the 20th, “first frost,” is just out. in “reading the room,” paul yamazaki, the chief buyer for city lights booksellers, calls this “one of the richest and most rewarding times” to be a literature fan. audiobooks have let the artist “stay invested in stories while working with my hands.” her new project: illustrating jamaica kincaid’s “an encyclopedia of gardening for colored children.” “they’re snapshots of the past: first night gifts, holidays abroad, memories of lost friends and loved ones,” the award winning actress says. her latest, written with brendan o’hea, is “shakespeare: the man who pays the rent.” his essay warning that dictatorship was a real threat went viral, which prompted the early release of “rebellion: how antiliberalism is tearing america apart   again.” to relax, he reads the sports pages. the former n.f.l. player has been living with a.l.s. for more than a decade. sharing “the most lacerating and vulnerable times” in “a life impossible” was worth the physical and emotional toll, he says. “i don’t want other people to miss out on the wisdom and joy this genre has to offer, the way i did for so long,” says the best selling novelist. “funny story,” about a heartsore librarian and the new man in her life, is out next week. richard goodwin, an adviser to presidents, “was more interested in shaping history,” she says, “and i in figuring out how history was shaped.” their bond is at the heart of her new book, “an unfinished love story: a personal history of the 1960s.” “i mean that as an organizing principle,” says the u.s. poet laureate, who has edited a new anthology of nature poetry called “you are here,” “and also as a slight against prose.” that kids’ classic “completely changed my life,” says the former football star, now the university of colorado’s “coach prime.” his new book is “elevate and dominate: 21 ways to win on and off the field.” crafting the arguments in “you get what you pay for,” her first essay collection, “felt like pulling apart a long piece of taffy,” says the author of “magical negro.” men’s personal narratives are dissected; women’s are “dismissed as merely autofiction or memoir,” says the author of “the light room: on art and care.” her 2012 “heroines” has just been reissued. some familiar san franciscans turn up in the british countryside in “mona of the manor,” which the author vows is the 10th, and last, in the series: “that has a nice symmetry.” the feisty title character of her new book, “ferris,” has a sharp eye for detail, and so, its author hopes, does she. meanwhile, she is on an alice mcdermott reading jag. “i’ve been prank calling justin torres for like two decades,” says the poet and performer, whose new book is called “ten bridges i’ve burnt: a memoir in verse.” “only then can i surrender to the spell of reading,” says the director of “glory” and the author of “hits, flops and other illusions: my fortysomething years in hollywood.” “i love the inherent optimism and boldness” in young adult fiction, says the novelist, best known for reimagining classic fairy tales. her new book is the contemporary rom com “with a little luck.” “where you choose to direct your senses, step by step, matters,” says the eminent nature writer. his 30th book, “with every great breath: new and selected essays, 1995 2023,” is out in february. “you’ve got to know when you’re onto a good thing,” says the prolific historian, british tv personality and author of “wolves of winter,” the second novel in his hundred years’ war trilogy. “that you could collaborate with others and go out for boba tea was quite revelatory,” says the author of “the expatriates,” which nicole kidman has produced (and stars in) for amazon this month. “invisible man” “made me feel seen and heard,” the rapper actor says. “i can return the favor.” his new book, “and then we rise: a guide to loving and taking care of self” is out this month. finishing “the portrait of a lady” leaves the author of “old crimes,” a new story collection, “a little more confident.” meanwhile, rod serling has a place on her shelves. “one must read between the lies,” he suggests, putting his own “everywhere an oink oink” at the top of the list. “caro’s works are masterpieces of research and artistry,” says the former vice president and managing editor at knopf doubleday, who looks forward to   what else?   more reading, after 60 years on the job. “a book is made of language,” says the author, whose new novel is “welcome home, stranger.” “how can a house be great if it’s made of shoddy materials? how can a dinner be great if it’s made with terrible ingredients?” “a great story casts a spell,” says the author, whose new novel is “the vulnerables.” “it can enthrall you so completely that you not only forget that you’re stuck between two manspreaders in a noisy, crowded, smelly subway car but miss your stop.” the author of the percy jackson series (newly adapted for disney+ this month) is looking for anthologies of indigenous folklore and mythology, too. “there are too many books celebrating it,” says the author, whose new book is “the core of an onion.” “i have a lot of books on near death experiences, psychic phenomena and past life regression on my shelves,” says the two time poet laureate, whose new book is the memoir “to free the captives.” “these kinds of books nudge me to remember our world is but one facet of an enormous continuity.” “the first condition is silence,” says the 2022 winner of the nobel prize in literature, whose most recent book is “the young man.” “the when and where do not matter.” “i read them the way that people surf the internet today, maybe,” says the wilco frontman, whose new memoir is “world within a song.” “so i know everything.” “i know my limitations, but i would still invite william shakespeare,” says the actor, whose new memoir is “being henry: the fonz … and beyond.” “i would also invite daniel silva and definitely larry david!” “my favorite author was madeleine l’engle,” says the national book award winning historian, whose new book is “wild girls: how the outdoors shaped the women who challenged a nation.” “in middle school i would ride the city bus to the public library and check out l’engle’s novels for teens.” “i love it when i don’t have any plans the next day and end up reading until daybreak because i can’t sleep,” says the author, whose new novel is “the premonition.” “it’s the best feeling.” “i acted macbeth for exactly 365 days,” says the actor, whose new memoir is “making it so.” “the role got into me so deeply it dominated my life at the time and caused me to drink too much alcohol after the performance was over. no other role i have played has affected me so profoundly.” “i often look back on a book i thought was wonderful and inspiring and found it to be maudlin and flowery or have some other defect of character i overlooked,” says the journalist, whose new book is the novel “mr. texas.” “it could be that literary fashions have changed or i’ve gotten older, and of course both are true.” “language, specific to the writer’s voice, rhythmic, weighted, moves me,” says the author, whose new novel is “night watch.” “language is always the living soul of a narrative.” “they are meaningful books for my children, but i haven’t read them,” says the novelist and story writer, whose new book is the collection “wednesday’s child.” “i have music and rhythm to help me get my point across,” says the singer and songwriter, whose new memoir is “talking to my angels.” “but real poets do it all just with the language and the lines. that’s a gift.” cormac mccarthy’s “the road” got to her: “sure, it’s a novel full of unbelievable violence and apocalyptic nightmare stuff,” says the best selling author of “wonder,” “pony” and “white bird,” soon to be a feature film. “but the humanity and love is there right from the first line.” “i think she’d find it fascinating,” says the novelist, whose latest book is “the librarianist.” “i love great character growth and fresh plots that involve some sort of social justice,” says the author of the spy novel “undercover latina” and other thrillers. “however, if there’s too much violence or threatened violence against women or children, i move from a sense of thrill to a sense of dread.” “have you ever smoked a joint and read toni morrison’s ‘sula’ in a very hot bath, reveling in a single, rich paragraph for what feels like an hour?” says the novelist, whose new book is “time’s mouth.” “if not, may i suggest you try it?” “my thinking is that reading will focus my mind, bring a hush over the chaos of the day so i can drift off,” says the author of the memoir “educated,” one of the book review’s 10 best books of 2018. “but from time to time a book takes hold in that peculiar way that a book can, and i end up reading through the night. ... books are both the best and worst thing for my sleep.” “when you become a writer, you inevitably lose your innocence as a reader,” says the pulitzer winning novelist, whose new book is “somebody’s fool.” “it’s like being given the underground tour of disney world. some of the magic dissipates.” “a collection of these issues would undoubtedly be my favorite book that no one has heard of,” says the author of the memoir “stay true,” one of the book review’s 10 best books of 2022. “if you are reading this, please write me!” “i regret that i never met hilary mantel,” says the booker winning scottish novelist, whose most recent book, “young mungo,” is now out in paperback. “i would be delighted with three of her.” “there has to be chemistry,” says the writer and prolific translator, whose second book will come out next year. “you don’t need prior knowledge of, say, iceland or icelandic in order to appreciate victoria cribb’s translation of sjón.” “old illustrated ones are critical for research,” says the author and spy novelist, four of whose early novels are being reissued this month. “you’d be amazed how often roads move and names change.” the former treasury secretary, whose new book is “the yellow pad,” says that ken auletta’s “the underclass” convinced him that “trying to break the cycle of poverty through policy and through private efforts is not just right for moral reasons, but is enormously in the interest of all.” “so many come to mind,” says the author, whose novel “the rabbit hutch” won a national book award last year and will be out in paperback this month. “i guess i’m often furious?” “there is an existential malaise that can come with chasing your dreams,” says the crime writer, whose new novel is “all the sinners bleed.” “after you grab the brass ring, what do you do with it?” “indeed, the two have a lot in common!” says the author, whose new novel is “the late americans.” “the other day i was shocked to discover that somehow i have amassed a rather robust collection of books about punk rock,” says the writer, whose novel “trust,” now in paperback, won a 2023 pulitzer prize for fiction. “those works are labors of love too,” says the author, whose new novel is “chain gang all stars.” “i like work that moves me, makes me see things anew, asserts humanity, cares enough to really look. that can be emotional or intellectual and usually (almost always) it’s both.” the artist, whose monograph “sarah sze: paintings” came out in march and whose exhibition “timelapse” is at the guggenheim through september, would invite stein to dinner with cervantes and murasaki shikibu: “stein might instigate a … debate on the origin of the modern novel.” “i’m ashamed to say i picked up w. somerset maugham’s ‘of human bondage’ because the title seemed promising,” says the doctor and novelist, whose new novel is “the covenant of water.” “while it didn’t have the lascivious content i’d imagined, it turned out to have something better: it was the book that … called me to medicine.” the author of “are you there god? it’s me, margaret” received the d.h. lawrence novel after her wedding in 1959: “the marriage didn’t last but the honeymoon was memorable.” “over the years,” says the historical novelist, whose new book is “the trackers,” “i’ve come to realize that many great books we were assigned to read in school are far more enjoyable and have more to say when approached later in life.” “i queued up to get his autograph with nothing but a dollar bill for him to sign,” says the pop star, whose debut novel is “this bird has flown.” “he glanced up, amused, gave me a mischievous half smile and said, ‘ah, defacing u.s. currency,’ and proceeded to sign it.” “never mind guessing the solution,” says the british author, whose new book is “humanly possible.” “i often can’t understand that solution even when it’s explained at the end.” “people sometimes ask why i want to read horror at all, let alone write it,” says the horror novelist, whose new book is “lone women.” “so much writing glances off the hardest and worst experiences, but horror confronts the worst that happens. ... a good horror novel doesn’t lie to you.” “certain men are constitutionally incapable of reading one of the greatest novels ever written,” says the author, whose new novel is “commitment.” “there are already many wonderful books about science,” says the author and m.i.t. professor, whose new book is “the transcendent brain.” “i wish more authors would write about philosophy in an accessible and meaningful way.” “they demand nothing of the reader,”

what to read by the book “the material that he uses for the songs is powerfully moving, involving his own personal losses,” the 88 year old poet says. also name checked in “so what”: an italian motorcycle magnate. credit...rebecca clarke supported by describe your ideal reading experience (when, where, what, how). there isn’t one. the true answer is in a comfortable chair. what’s the most interesting thing you learned from a book recently? i’ve learned everything and not very much. not recently, but when i began writing poetry the two poets who taught and influenced me the most were ezra pound and robert lowell. in the case of pound, the incomprehensible music of it, the reach and the size of the ambition, and the way the poetry finds moments of great simplicity and sweetness. in the case of lowell, so many different things i learned and imitated from him. and otherwise it’s been many poets, everybody. what books are on your night stand? i like that   “night stand”   old fashioned. right now: yukio mishima’s book “patriotism,” a silly piece of work; “the collected poems of delmore schwartz”; the essays of frank kermode. around as well are “voyage in the dark,” by jean rhys, and joseph roth’s novel “flight without end.” “the little auto,” a children’s book by lois lenski. “the rest is noise,” by alex ross, and louis menand’s “the free world.” “skyfaring,” by mark vanhoenacker   i have a thing about speed, about flying, motorcycles, formula 1, but especially motorcycles. i’ve written a lot of poems that i suppose are unusual for including motorcycles in them, with the emphasis on italian ones, and a particular joy in the beauty and vast speed of them. i’ve spent a lot of time in bologna near the ducati factory, which made a racing motorcycle for me.
