Tim Gunn is the Emmy Award-winning former producer of Project Runway, where for 16 seasons he mentored contestants with charm and care. But when he isn’t busy making it work, chances are he has his nose in a book. In a live conversation series presented in collaboration with the National Book Foundation, Gunn spoke about some of the most powerful books in his life, the reads that have stayed with him since his early teens. His conversation partner: fellow avid reader—and best-selling novelist— Min Jin Lee, whose most recent book, Pachinko, was a finalist for the National Book Award and one of the New York Times’ “10 Best Books of 2017.”
