About this episode

"I am one who does not think that the Earth was made for us. I think that we are first to last strangers on it, and that it takes us a good first half of our lives just to get used to gravity. That it's not easy." -Michael Silverblatt LINKS: Visit the Bookworm ARCHIVES . Buy David Markson books on INDIEBOUND . Watch Michael Silverblatt at Cornell HERE .
