Nicole Krauss, On Her New Collection, "To Be A Man"

Harper Collins Publishers

Tom's next guest is the acclaimed author Nicole Krauss.  She is the author of four novels, including the international bestsellers Forest Dark, Great House, The History of Love, and her debut novel, Man Walks Into a Room.  She’s been a finalist for the National Book Award and the Orange Prize, and she a winner of the Saroyan Prize and the Prix du Meilleur Livre Étranger in France.

Last week, on Election Day as it turns out, Harper Collins published Krauss's first collection of short stories.  It’s called To Be a Man: Stories.  In it, we are introduced to a dazzling array of characters in locales that span the globe from Israel, to Japan, Switzerland, and both coasts of the United States.
