Books Are Pop Culture is back with episode 2 of BAPC Sides: the episodes that provide the high-quality B Side Tracks to the never-ending album known as Books Are Pop Culture.
In today's episode the fellas provide commentary on David Dennis's Jr.'s excellent piece on how Michael K. Williams taught him about being a man. They wax philosophically on why more young Black males aren't turning to literary fiction writing, and they finally discuss Octavia Butler's seminal 1980 essay, Lost Races of Science Fiction.
