The best way to listen to Virtual Book Tour is in the Book of the Month app.

Daniel Black, author of Isaac’s Song, joins us on this week’s episode of VBT to discuss gospel music, masculinity, Black storytelling, bouquets, and that time he went viral. Oh, and how he wrote his new book. We manage to cover it all and even find time to dance.

A young man finds himself at a crossroads, reflecting on his past and the recent loss of his father. He comes of age, comes out, and discovers himself in 1980s Chicago, against the backdrop of the AIDS crisis and Rodney King’s attack.
