Summary

Mother and daughter novelists Anita and Kiran Desai and classical music critic Lloyd Schwartz on this edition of Fresh Air. Anita and Kiran Desai speak about Kiran's novel, The Inheritance of Loss, which has won the 2006 Man Booker Prize. Kiran's mother, Anita, has been short listed for the Booker Prize three times. Her books include Fire on the Mountain, Clear Light of Day and In Custody. Then classical music critic Lloyd Schwartz reviews the new recording of Beethoven's 5th and 7th Symphonies, led by 25-year-old Venezuelan conductor Gustavo Dudamel. The conductor and the orchestra are the product of Venezuela's 30-year-old national program for young musicians. [Broadcast Date: November 20, 2006]
