ATW Live on Monday: “The Quiet American”
After a two-week hiatus, the Monday livestream of America This Week returned at 4:00 PM ET, Monday, instead of the previous campaign-inspired evening schedule. With Harvard University at the center of the news cycle, it’s a lucky accident Walter and I chose Graham Greene’s The Quiet American as our first novel to discuss. This is a public episode.
