Also: Mormon Envy | View online welcome In this weeks podcast, Stan Guthrie and I discuss a wonderful new memoir by Roger Rosenblatt, The Boy Detective: A New York Childhood. (It was good to get back in the studio with Stan after a long stretch of weeks without podcasts.) Also featured on the Books & Culture website: Catherine Hervey on Jhumpa Lahiris novel The Lowland (which she finds to be Lahiris most satisfying book to date); Makoto Fujimura on the Japanese response to disaster (in particular, to the Great Earthquake of 1923); Jarrett A. Carty on Thinking Like an Alchemist; and John G. Turner on Mormon Envy. (Turner reviews Steve Webbs book Mormon Christianity: What Other Christians Can Learn from the Latter-day Saints.) Its unusually cold here—as Tom Skilling explained on this mornings weather page in the Chicago Tribune—because of unusually warm air over the Pacific Ocean. Make of that what you will. Thanks for reading. John Wilson, Editor, Books & Culture
