Nicola Yoon’s adult fiction debut, One of Our Kind, is a novel of class, privilege and how things may not always be what they seem. Yoon joins us to talk about writing for a new audience, literary influences, themes of race and belonging and more with Miwa Messer, host of Poured Over. We end this episode with TBR Top Off book recommendations from Marc and Donald.
