Welcome to the Audio Archives
Welcome to the Audio Archives. You can find links here to all of the audio recordings available on the Lannan Foundation website. The archives contain audio files from the popular Readings & Conversations series, other public Lannan events from the past 16 years, as well as selections from the award-winning literary radio program “Bookworm” with Michael Silverblatt.
Lannan Audio Archives
Lannan has always made audio recordings of and often videotaped its public program events. These events may belong to any of the Lannan program areas: Art, Cultural Freedom, Indigenous Communities, Literary, Readings and Conversations, or Residency. The archive is an ever-growing collection of unique material as we add in recordings from each public event we host.
Bookworm Archives
Lannan is also delighted to offer selections from Michael Silverblatt’s premier literary interview program, “Bookworm.” Susan Sontag calls Silverblatt “a national treasure”.
Silverblatt’s formidable knowledge comes from close reading and analysis of a writer’s entire oeuvre. Susan Sontag calls him “a national treasure.” As host and guiding spirit of the half-hour radio show, Silverblatt has reinvented the art of literary conversation, introducing listeners to new and emerging authors along with writers of renown.
Additional Bookwork recordings are being added regularly.
