Anna Quindlen is the best-selling author of four previous novels and six works of nonfiction. In 1992, her syndicated New York Times column, “Public and Private,” won the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary. She now writes a bi-weekly column - alternating with George F. Will - for Newsweek magazine’s “Last Word.” In her new novel, Rise and Shine, the country’s highest-rated morning talk show host cuts to a commercial break - but not before she mutters two forbidden words into her open mike.
