Summary:
The directors of the New Orleans and the Indianapolis art museums have a lot more riding on this weekend's Super Bowl than a couple of bucks in the office pool. After an arts blogger posed a challenge, they've each put up a treasured painting from their collections. The director of the losing city's museum will have to lend his masterpiece to the winner.
Next, Brooklyn-based band Djarara plays the traditional Haitian street music known as rara, which features metal horns, bamboo trumpets, and drums. Every one of the 15 band members lost someone in the recent earthquake. They're continuing the music, and even rehearsing a new song to commemorate the tragedy. "Rara is life," says one of the musicians.
Then, Marlon James's novel The Book of Night Women is set on a Jamaican sugar plantation at the turn of the 19th century. It's about a rebellion led by a group of slaves. It is also the coming-of-age story of Lilith, the enslaved daughter of the plantation's overseer, and her conflicted feelings about violence as retribution. James talks about his use of dialect in the novel and why dialect is still controversial among Jamaican writers.
Finally, when a young writer gets a day job with J.D. Salinger's agent, she becomes a better novelist. Joanna Smith Rakoff describes her time as the reluctant conduit between the writer and his fans. [Broadcast Date: February 6, 2010]
