\"Ann<\/p>\n

Novelist and Nashville’s-own Ann Patchett<\/a><\/strong> will be the guest on NPT\u2019s A Word on Words with John Seigenthaler<\/strong> this coming Sunday, October 7 at 10:30 a.m. on NPT-Channel 8.<\/p>\n

Patchett, who a week ago got everyone in town talking with her New York Times<\/a><\/strong><\/em> Travel piece about the music scene in East Nashville, will discuss her latest novel Run<\/em><\/strong>. In 2002, her novel Bel Canto<\/em><\/strong> was a massive success, winning both the PEN\/Faulkner Award and the Orange Prize. It was also a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award and was named the Book Sense Book of the Year. It sold over a million copies in the United States and has been translated into thirty languages. Run<\/em><\/strong> is already getting great reviews just about everywhere, and will surely hit the bestseller list. The Washington Post<\/strong><\/em> called it “…engaging, surprising, provocative and moving.” Publisher’s Weekly<\/em><\/strong> says that Run<\/em> “…is a novel with timeless concerns at its heart\u2014class and belonging, parenthood and love\u2014and if it wears that heart on its sleeve, then it does so with confidence” and is “…satisfyingly bold in its attempt to say something patient and true about family.”<\/p>\n

Locally, the Nashville Scene<\/em><\/strong><\/a> called <\/em>Run<\/em> “as graceful and as justifiably confident as anything (Patchett) has written before” while in the LIFE section of the Tennessean<\/em><\/strong><\/a> on September 23, Jonathan Marx gave us an excellent profile of the author.<\/p>\n

Then there was the New York Times “Books of the Times” <\/em><\/strong><\/a>review — not to be confused with the New York Times Book Review<\/a><\/em><\/strong> review. Regardless of which review you read, take advantage of the first chapter<\/strong><\/a> of the book that both provide. As the latter of the Times<\/em> reviews says, “the opening chapter of “Run” … offers a near-perfect example of her particular strengths.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
