Summary

Authors Richard Powers and Alex Kuczynski, on this edition of Fresh Air. Richard Powers has just won the National Book Award for his novel The Echo Maker. His previous books include The Gold Bug Variations and The Time of Our Singing. And New York Times reporter Alex Kuczynski's new book is Beauty Junkies: Inside our $15 Billion Obsession with Cosmetic Surgery. Kuczynski is no stranger to "beauty maintenance" herself; she's had botox, an eye-lift, and lipo, but gave it up after a bad experience with lip augmentation. [Broadcast Date: December 12, 2006]
