Publisher's summary

Novelist David Leavitt and poet Yehuda Amichai on this archive edition of Fresh Air. David Leavitt's new book is Martin Bauman; or, a Sure Thing. It is a look at the Manhattan publishing scene as viewed through the eyes of 19-year-old Martin Bauman. Leavitt's own first book, Family Dancing, was published when he was just 23. Leavitt's other books include The Lost Language of Cranes, Equal Affections, and While England Sleeps.

Israeli poet Yehuda Amichai died Friday at the age of 76. This interview was conducted in 1991. Amichai was a celebrated poet whose subjects were love and loss, and more recently, aging and mortality. The New York Times wrote that he had a "gift for poeticizing the particular: the localized object or image in everyday life." (Original Broadcast Dates: September 25, 2000, and February 27, 1999)
