The Best of the Book Nook: 'Step by Step - a Pedestrian Memoir' by Lawrence Block

One of our greatest living crime novelists wrote a memoir about his ambulatory passions.

Lawrence Block has written hundreds of novels. Occasionally he has published works of non-fiction and for fans of his work these reflective memoirs about his life are truly the icing on the cake. This was my second interview with the author-we have done four more since then. This one is rather unique because we hardly talked about his monumental fiction at all.

The Book Nook on WYSO is presented by the Greene County Public Library with additional support from Washington-Centerville Public LibraryClark County Public LibraryDayton Metro LibraryWright Memorial Public Library, and Tipp City Public.

Over the years he has produced more than 1500 interviews with writers, musicians, poets, politicians, and celebrities.
