How cool is this? Talk of the Nation on NPR radio is talking about YA books and they're focusing on fantasy.

It's on now, which means by the time anyone reads this thread it'll be over, but the show is archived at the website.

Go to www.npr.org and click on Talk of the Nation. It should be available for listening later today.

Neil Gaiman was just on, and they're also talking to Christopher Paolini and Tamora Pierce.

thanks for the link :) Good comments re. the issue of violence in fiction, and I particularly liked Gaiman's notion of how he would become a famous author before he actually became an author (when he was young) :)
