Donna Seaman


The Reading Life

Chicago, Illinois


To read and to write about books is to participate in the great conversation that is literature. A conversation about life and what it means to be human.

I'm fortunate to be able to respond to books on the pages of BOOKLIST. Published by the American Library Association in Chicago for more than a century, it is a richly inclusive review magazine. I'm also proud to review now and then for the Chicago Tribune, Bookforum, and the Los Angeles Times.

My writer interviews can be heard on the website:
www.openbooksradio.org. That's where I blog, too.

I can also be heard on Chicago Public Radio's program, Eight-Forty-Eight. Visit the website:
