12.5 – Feuds – Please Don’t Ruin Marlon James For Us

Since scandals were so much fun, we thought we’d try our hand at talking literary feuds! It’s sort of like an episode of Ryan Murphy’s Feud, but in a podcast and about people who write books instead of a TV show about glamorous actresses.

Next week we will be discussing Future Home of the Living God by Louise Erdrich.
