MSNBC's Morning Joe, which regularly features authors, has created the Morning Joe Book Club, "a monthly series of interviews and discussions on the hottest, new nonfiction books." The club's first pick, to be discussed next Monday, is Five Days at Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital by Pulitzer Prize-winner Sheri Fink (Crown), which was published September 10.
The publisher describes Five Days at Memorial as "a harrowing report of patient deaths at New Orleans' Memorial Medical Center in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and exposes just how unprepared America is for large-scale disasters."
The club plans to "dive in a month ahead of each interview, read the book together, and then join the author for a Morning Joe roundtable discussion."
