How do we teach our children in this culture of winners that it is OK to lose?

Word of Mouth
Today on Word of Mouth, we visit the dark world of 19th-century New England. Author Hannah Tinti has been compared to Charles Dickens for her debut novel, The Good Thief. We’ll also be transported to Hollywood, via Vermont. This weekend’s Brattleboro Literary Festival will host seminars on poetry, plays and novels, but this year the festival adds screenplays to the mix. We’ll continue the theme with a revered film critic’s suggestion of 1,000 must-see movies. Plus, what Andy Warhol’s portraits did for the celebrity-obsessed world of politics.
