On episode 89 of The Charles C. W. Cooke Podcast, I talked to Christopher J. Scalia about his new book, 13 Novels Conservatives Will Love (but Probably Haven’t Read). Among the topics we discussed were: Why haven’t conservatives read these books? Why should people read novels? Are these books “conservative” or just books that conservatives will like? What are the best books progressives will love? Why aren’t people reading novels any more? And does the lack of a shared literary canon help explain why we’re so divided as a country?
