Donna Seaman


The Reading Life

Book Couture
Store Window, 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.

I'm fortunate in having a forum for speaking with writers, my radio show, OPEN BOOKS. Broadcast on WLUW in Chicago, it lives on the Web at:

www.openbooksradio.com.

Please visit and listen to remarkable writers.
