Something for everyone: This episode serves up an array of new novels! Host Sarah Bowen Shea kicks things off with praise for an engaging mystery set in 1950s England, then co-host Ellison Weist gives the lowdown on the final installment of Colson Whitehead’s finely crafted Harlem Trilogy. The host duo can’t say enough good things about a gorgeous graphic novel that will stay with them for years, leading into a broader convo about some of their favorite graphic novels. Ellison wraps things up with a contemporary novel with a don’t-be-misled retro cover. The books discussed:
