That all happens tonight on cspan2s booktv. [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] hello this afternoon. Thanks for coming. Good to see you all. I think we need to know introduction. At least robert caro, i hope you read all his books and are as enamored of them as i am. We are here because we are enamored, to talk about writing. Not so much the subject matter per se, but why writing matters. We both feel, as i am sure you do, that writing matters quite a bit. How it matters is a task for the writer to come to terms with.
