We’re a bit late this week, but we have reigned victorious over midterms and work functions and an election to bring you a discussion of Namwali Serpell’s magically realistic, somewhat science fictional, family history of Zambia, The Old Drift.

Next time we will be discussing Barn 8 by Deb Olin Unferth. And after that, Luster by Raven Leilani.

Mentioned in this episode: Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi The Only Harmless Great Thing by Brooke Bolander Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad The Zambian “Afronaut” Who Wanted to Join the Space Race by Namwali Serpell for the New Yorker
