Book Pick Extra: 'TransAtlantic,' plus readers' choices
Kerri Miller's book pick this week is Colum McCann's "TransAtlantic." As he did in "Let the Great World Spin," McCann weaves together the stories of real people — Frederick Douglass, Sen. George Mitchell and others — with fictional characters.
Kerri interviewed McCann in the studio on Monday.
