E:12 "The Great Believers" by Rebecca Makkai (EmmyB with Whitney Flygare)
In this episode, EmmyB and returning pod-guest Whitney Flygare take on tragedy and survivorship in the historical fiction novel "The Great Believers" by Rebecca Makkai. AIDS in the 1980s gay community is not an easy topic to discuss, but with great compassion and style, Makkai gives us something we cannot stop talking about!
Whitney also mentions "American Dirt" by Jeanine Cummins her book recommendation that has a voice of power that needs to be heard.
