The Sellout and Hillbilly Elegy • Our book clubs dive in
In our first episode Kate's book club dive into Paul Beatty's 2016 Booker Prize winning novel THE SELLOUT while Laura's have been reading HILLBILLY ELEGY, Jack Vance's memoir of growing up poor in an Appalachian town. Does Vance's book explain the rise of Donald Trump, as many commentators claimed? Did The Sellout make us laugh, as the blurb promised it would? And did these two books make good book club reads? For a change of pace we talk to Howard Green, a book-clubber whose book clubs prioritise a sense of community and spiritual reflection and meditation. And we've got plenty of recommendations for your next read.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
