Well, 29 books and hundreds of songs later, it's time to celebrate the 30th Interrobang. But first, let's look back at some of the trips we've taken together. "Cloud Atlas" by David Mitchell kicked things off, with some Panda Bear, Portishead, and Crystal Castles (among others) creating the sweeping soundtrack. We headed to Cuba for Graham Greene's "Our Man in Havana" with tunes from the Cuban Jam Session and Up, Bustle, & Out's Master Sessions. There were guest co-hosts Amelia and Finlay, helping dad out in the studio on short-story collections and youth fiction.

This week’s book is by yet another impressive Canadian author: Elizabeth Hay. Hay has written short fiction, creative non-fiction, essays, and four novels, all of which have received considerable critical acclaim. But this book in particular—Late Nights On Air—was widely championed as a beautifully-written story and a novel of distinction. And it was distinguished, winning the Giller Prize in 2007, the year it was published.

First published in 1943, this book is a classic piece of children’s literature that, like most lasting pieces of children’s literature, isn’t just for children. Its impact on readers of all ages is evident in a few simple statistics:

The Little Prince (originally published in French as Le Petit Prince) has been translated into over 250 languages and dialects. More than 200 million copies have been sold around the world. And it has been adapted into nearly every medium out there, potentially even the one you’re about to witness.
