Synopsis Since 1989 Brian Lamb has provided intelligent readers a reclusive island in an engulfing tide of numbing television programs. His weekly C-SPAN show, "Booknotes," offers in-depth discussions with authors of major nonfiction books. In a refreshingly uncluttered setting, Lamb prods the minds of some of our greatest living writers, inviting them to expound on the process and power of the written word. The best of these hour-long programs are collected in the pages of Booknotes, whose authorial voice, in the sleek style of its televised ancestor, sounds free of editorial commentary. The following is a sample of the more than 150 short essays contained in the book: * Biographer David McCullough on how he retraced Harry Truman's steps from the Capitol to the White House on the day Truman learned FDR had died. * Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Halberstam on how he prepares to write by having "a very lazy cappuccino," and why five hours in a library is "like eating salted peanuts." * Historian Doris Kearns Goodwin on the six years she researched and wrote about Roosevelts in a study filled with pictures of FDR and Eleanor. * Shelby Foote on how he wrote his 1.5 million-word Civil War trilogy -- longhand, with a dip pen, over the course of 20 years, while always sleeping in the room where he worked. * Norman Mailer, who has finished more than 25 books, on his philosophy of writer's block. * Charles Kuralt on the writing office he designed to look "like a seedy, failing, small gentlemen's club." * Colin Powell on the transition from hiding his emotions as a general to sharing them as an author -- and on what it's like to autograph exactly 60,001 books during a five-week tour. * First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton on what it's like to raise a child in the White House. * Former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on the late suppers she'd make for her husband in 10 Downing St. Lamb's discussions with historians, writers, and public figures invite a provocative consideration of the minds behind the biggest books of our time. His program is a jewel of television, and his book a luminous collection.
