Robert Silvers, editor of the New York Review of Books
|
Robert Silvers talks about a new book from writer, naturalist and co-founder of The Paris Review, Peter Matthiessen. It's called Shadow Country and revolves around the real-life, although somewhat mythological, figure of Edgar J. Watson. Plus a man whose writing is an adjunct to his view of the world and his philanthropic ambitions—George Soros is a billionaire who sees making money as having meaning only when it can make positive changes in the world around him.
