NPR Books Watch — 9/19-9/25

Slim pickings this week — 14 book stories, of which only eight were interviews.  (The rest were on-air reviews / commentaries.)

Here are the NPR interviews for this week.  Anyone who emails me the imprints of all the books listed (or houses if no imprint is available) will win the NPR Books Grid for the prior week that includes, in addition to the information below, interviewer, pub date, imprint, post-interview Amazon ranking, pre-interview ranking (if the book was mentioned on Shelf Awareness and I was able to look up the number before the interview), and interview hyperlink.
