Following Hudson's inauguration of the Nantucket Book Festival at the Unitarian Universalist Meeting House, Richard (Dick) Burns introduces the panelists for a conversation titled Time, Place, and Nantucket, moderated by Christopher Lydon and featuring authors Pam Belluck (Island Practice), Elin Hilderbrand (Summerland), Nathaniel Philbrick (Why Read Moby Dick?), and Nancy Thayer (Heat Wave). Burns is the comanager of Nantucket Bookworks, where he started working in 1989, back when the Claflins owned the store.
