Funds for Bookworm are provided in part by Lannin Foundation.

You are a human animal.

You are a very special breed.

Or you are the only animal.

Who can think, who can reason, who can read.

From KCRW, Santa Monica,

I'm Michael Silverblatt,

and this is bookworm.

Today, well, I can't even begin to tell you.

I'm very thrilled.

I'm in New York City.

With me are members of the Ulipo,

a writing school,

a school of writing that stands in French

for words that would mean workshop

for potential literature.

Say those words.

Uvrages.

And that was Erveille Laetheille.

And he is one of the five Ulipians, who I have in my studio with me.

With Ervei is the newest member of the Ulipon.

Daniel Levinbecker.
