1:37 am
snapshot why portugal, greece, france, it aly, spain, they're all bankrupt why would we follow that model? obama said taxes were too low at 35 percent that is wonderful for the rich but greece tax has 40% of obama has 3.8% obamacare tax that means congratulations america we have a higher tax the increase. doesn't work? ask them they are starving and homeless he did dumpster diving. is that what we want that is where obama is taking us. >> host: you were the vice presidential candidate. >> i endorsed mitt romney to announce my grand reentry i wish bobby won the election
1:38 am
he is a very nice man but not a good candidate he did not have the energy that i do the passion he did not have the guts or the stomach to run for president mitt romney would make a much better president by making a much better candidate because that is not about, to go but to be "american idol" obama is great we cannot run the country but mitt romney cannot run for office and you have to like blue-collar people and get out too shaky hands and kissed babies and obama is good adult seek romney likes do get down in the dirt and obama does. i do a and i love to campaign. i hope to join rand paul and the senate.

>> what i was doing was trying to recapture voices after world war ii in japan it was the story of the
1:47 am
japanese coming together and to capture those voices i had to go back to so many printed sources of books and magazines and letters to the editors, the songs, some of the forms of print to a historian is a treasure. >> when you say you attempt to take on the your city how can you get a handle on something of this magnitude? there is a variety of tracks that run through this man
1:48 am
whose character organized chronologically from the ice age. but things to run through it at the highest level interested in tracking the city's changing positions on the planet. >> host: in the york times book review getting a redesign debuting this weekend. we have the editor of "the new york times" book review. what are some of the redesigns? >> we gave this whole issue a new look. the goal was to maintain what we've fundamentally are to keep the number of book
1:49 am
reviews in their the bank is a section for readers while it looks more open and accessible it is the section for reading but there are some new features which klay think it will make it more accessible and relevant and more exciting. there are two major new features watching one is called the short list user brief reviews that they have always run but the change is they are grouped according to a shot truck, this subject, that it takes the sure review that feels like a second thought that if you are interested in science fiction and horror and apologies these of the books
1:50 am
of interest then we can find a reviewer who has the experience were interested that area to give a strong coherent review. another is that we had in say there the new feature is called bookends we have 10 regular columnist who will rotate matched up in different pairs to take on a question that is out there to the literary world are the novelist to wary of criticizing others there is a debate if twitter has made great writers to dice and if the book world is too small and in such desperate me as sustenance that it is not right to criticize?
1:51 am
said each week it will be a new topic other related to nonfiction perfection in these than writers will be paired up in different combinations trying to address that. what it is not is he said/she said are thumbs-up or thumbs down sometimes they may agree but because they are strong writers with very different backgrounds there are ways we think it will make a nicer companion with the idea to promote conversation not just to respond those issues but generate discussion because so much as about recommendation and conversation and debate and opinion.
1:52 am
>> host: ur some of the regular columnist? >> we have ted. they are from all over the world from fiction, nonfiction. so we heller is the novelist best known by her novel the believer in notes of the scandal and adam is a columnist for tablets magazine and a senior editor at new republic as well as a published poet also we have a film critic and the founding editor of jezebel that is a popular web site.
1:53 am
>> host: that is a nice selection. one of the things you mentioned is the of book world may be small. is it? >> guest: i think it can and feel that way especially if you are in it may be from the outside it may seem like it is the impenetrable force that doesn't lead in outsiders but i want to open that up. people continue to reap in the same numbers they always did well the number of book reviews has gone down i think people crave stories it doesn't matter on their phone or they take a book out from the library is a conversation people want to have what is good in what is worth their time. >> host: what about
1:54 am
nonfiction books? >> here in our first issue we have a new nonfiction with reviews by a block called the unsinkable our readers look at nonfiction as well as fiction i read more non-fiction than fiction in sao i think we try to devote as much space giving the limited number of reviews but in "new york times" book review traditionally has on the review of about 1% of the number of books coming out in a given year so it is about finding the best. >> host: your and author as well as editor of "the new york times" book review.
1:55 am
pamela, what does the new york time book review me into a writer? >> it is a huge for better or worse has become more important because we are the last freestanding newspaper book review out there's no it is different from the daily review it is a place where viewers take a step back and look at nonfiction the area the author writes about and it is hugely important i now boasts a joy to get a positive review and a negative review. i take it seriously i know what it is like on the other
1:56 am
end. >> host: does it affect a book sales? >> i think if people knew what really affected barack sales everyone would be a best selling author it is hard to know but a very strong rebuke from the times can often make a book. >> them marketing tool is a "new york times" best sellers splashed across the front hall or your best seller list form to? >> that is highly secret like the coca-cola recipe. [laughter] that is done by the news is survey group so we don't have direct involvement what we do is presented and we
1:57 am
have a best seller columnist to looks at the last in a broad and cultural way but we don't actually tally that. >> host: why is that such a secret? >> what'd selling in what is not selling has become more transparent look at the amazon rain king which before you could not do in there is the nielsen book scheme and that captures 85 percent of the market so people who pay for that service who have access to those numbers but it is still an area where it is difficult to figure out because books are sold in so many different ways not only
1:58 am
online but at conferences as well as books corporation -- bookstores as well as places like costco. we're celebrating our 15th year how has the literary publishing world changed? >> it has been completely transformed. the last 15 years like ancient history. everyone -- a rousing has changed from the publishing houses the big six is the big five still launch of the e-reader in the internet how people are reading their books and buying them and the coverage in the media in the print media has gone dramatically down then we see the vibrant online
1:59 am
community like book plods any on-line magazines are that extension of those that cover the literary world so that has changed the only thing that hasn't is the reader's fundamental interest in a good story or finding out informational from the great nonfiction book to be transported by literature. >> host: what is available on-line within your times book review section? >> everything and increasingly there is more content than in the print edition. i a mayhew to print reader but we offer additional
2:00 am
content online but to run the edited version of this is the q&a of their lives through reading. >> host: the new editor of "the new york times" book review has been redesigned and debuts september 8. thank you for your time. . .
