Published: April 7, 2021, 11:01 p.m.

This week, Thea Lenarduzzi and Lucy Dallas are joined by Elaine Showalter, Professor Emerita of English at Princeton University, to discuss Blake Bailey\u2019s keenly anticipated \u2018Philip Roth: The biography\u2019; and Alexandra Harris, the author of \u2018Weatherland: Artist and writers under English skies\u2019, considers a twenty-first century perspective on Joseph Wright of Derby, an eighteenth-century painter who is perhaps more darkness than light, more magic than science, and who deserves to be ranked among Europe\u2019s greats.
