Florida Matters Preview: Festival Of Reading

This week on Florida matters we'll talk with three authors who will be featured during the upcoming Tampa Bay Times Festival of Reading on November 11.

In this preview, Florida Matters host Robin Sussingham talks to Mark Helprin, the bestselling author whose works include Winter’s Tale, A Soldier of the Great War, and others.  His new novel, Paris in the Present Tense, touches on the widespread anti-Semitism that is resurgent in today's France.

I’m the editor for Your Florida, a project focused on connecting people with state government and policies passed in Tallahassee that affect their lives. I’m passionate about highlighting community efforts to improve the quality of life in our state and am committed to holding those in power accountable when they fail to prioritize the needs of people they serve.
Robin Sussingham was Senior Editor at WUSF until September 2020.
