Can books play a role in helping to bridge the deep cultural and political divisions in our nation? There’s no easy answer to the question, but a national series of livestreamed conversations between writers is attempting to find out.
“Write America,” which began in February, features a weekly discussion between two or three writers and sometimes artists from other fields. The series has been created by veteran journalist, novelist and playwright Roger Rosenblatt, who teaches English and writing at Stony Brook University in New York.
