In this episode, I interview Mary Emmerling, an Elon University graduate and one of the funniest people I know. We talk about transitioning from college to "real life," the legitimacy of The Bee Movie, our experiences as English majors, and the books that every person should read. Books mentioned in this episode: Beloved by Toni Morrison, Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehesi Coates, The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien, Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, Caramelo by Sandra Cisneros, City of Bones by Cassandra Clare, The Selected Works of Audre Lorde, Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward, and Zami: A New Spelling of My Name by Audre Lorde.
