Summary

Matt Nelson is the guest. Along with Jacob Perkins, he is the co-founder of the Mellow Pages Library in Brooklyn, New York. The library was recently featured in the New York Times: "Matt Nelson, a graduate student in creative writing at Queens College and one of the library’s two founders, explained the origins of the place, which is meant to serve as a reading room and gathering spot in addition to book lender. Mr. Nelson and Jacob Perkins, both 26, started the library in February, inspired in part by Pilot Books, a bookstore in Mr. Nelson’s hometown, Seattle, that carried volumes by independent publishers, and which closed in 2011. "Mellow Pages also specializes in those more arcane titles. Without the advertising budgets of major houses, the smaller presses have more difficulty finding readers, Mr. Nelson said, and the idea behind the library was to form a community of people who could share books that were not easy to find elsewhere." Monologue topics: voicemails, Spencer Madsen, Skype, my voice, cheese, New York City. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
