The Best of the Book Nook: 'Doubt: A History' by Jennifer Michael Hecht

 The book cover of the Doubt: A History
CONTRIBUTED

In 2003 I conducted my only interview with Jennifer Michael Hecht. I called her, as she was in New York, and we spent an hour discussing her book "Doubt: a History." The book was a best-seller and it was also my favorite book from that year. The author is a poet and there is definitely something rather poetic about her prose.

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.
