Three Percent #15: "Let's Rock!"

This week’s podcast is our official “Fall Books Preview,” in which we list a dozen or so books we’re really excited about, diss a few states in the union, and discuss a few strange and interesting book covers.

You’ll have to listen to the podcast to get the complete list, but here are a few of the titles the come up (and which we talk about the covers):

Joan Didion, Blue Nights (Knopf)

Peter Nadas, Parallel Stories, translated from the Hungarian by Imre Goldstein (FSG)

Karel Capek, The War of the Newts, translated from the Czech by David Wyllie (Melville House)

This week’s music was inspired by a minor digression, and if you don’t recognize it immediately, watch this.
