BSG #52: Half a Glass of Wine / When No One is Watching
The Book Squad is off to Brooklyn for a mysterious tale of gentrification and intrigue: When No One is Watching by Alyssa Cole! We discuss the book’s thrill factor, the romance, gentrification and racism, and how fiction functions as anti-racist reading. Next we dig into some listener feedback on Transcendent Kingdom and catch up with what’s on the blog, including a list of culty books, a review of The Amber Ruffin Show, and an interview with Kim Taylor Blakemore. Tune in on April 5th for our Othersode on The Project by Courtney Summers, plus an author interview with Sarah Edmondson about her book Scarred: The True Story of How I Escaped NXIVM, the Cult that Bound My Life. Read along with us for our next Bookpisode (April 19th) about Lily Menon’s novel Make Up Break Up. Don’t forget to rate, review, and subscribe!
