Enjoyed this as I plan to finally read "Lesser Ruins" next... Then I can listen to the relevant episodes of Three Percent, @mookse & @beyondzeropod. Feels like I'm measuring out my life not in coffee spoons, but Mark Haber appearances on (great) literary podcasts!
𝔼𝕡 𝟡𝟟 is live– ☕️✍️ with Mark Haber, whose novel, Lesser Ruins, is a wonderfully funny & heartfelt story about a middle-aged professor who spends a lot of time thinking about yet never writing, what is supposed to be his life's work! Dive in!

Lalla Romano’s masterpiece In Farthest Seas, coming out in Sept. with @PushkinPress (an author shortlisted for last year’s Warwick Prize for Women in Translation). Called “An extraordinarily powerful book” by Jhumpa Lahiri 🌊
I have loved all of @Mukasonga’s books we have so far in English, and this one sounds tremendous! Check out that blurb. Coming from @archipelagobks.

This week, we’re joined by our good friend Mark Haber to discuss his wonderful books, including the brand new Lesser Ruins, out from @Coffee_House_ . Fittingly, this episode features numerous digressions into literature, coffee, music, art & travel!
