Thursday's Boston Public Radio is entirely on tape and features the ultimate BPR book club — back to back conversations from over the years with some of our favorite writers.

Some highlights of the show include:

George Saunders discussed his novel, "Lincoln in the Bardo," his first foray into what he describes as serious prose.

Writer Susan Orlean discusses her latest book, a tribute to the public library, "The Library Book."

ESPN’s Howard Bryant discusses his book, "The Heritage: Black Athletes, a Divided America, and the Politics of Patriotism."
