Olufemi Terry - Wilderness of Mirrors
Set in South Africa, Olufemi Terry’s first novel is, on one level, a straightforward story of an affluent Creole man coming of age, but on another level, it is the story of a post-apartheid country where a lot of Whites have fled and left behind Creoles, Blacks, and some Whites, all of whom face an uncertain future, politically and economically. On this level, the story evokes the possibilities of what has happened and what still can happen in many countries in the world. It dramatizes the roles of the manipulators and the manipulated, as well as the vulnerabilities of...

Jon D. returns for Episode 74 with some big milestones and bigger opinions. He kicks things off celebrating 1,653 days sober (over 4.5 years) and laughs about how giving up booze has saved him a fortune.

David Baldacci - What is a Calamity of Souls
David Baldacci – What is A Calamity of Souls?The title of his most autobiographical novel occurred to David Baldacci the day he penned the first words. And it was literally penned—he started the book in a blank notebook his wife gave him on Christmas Day, 2011. He wrote that title and about 150 pages. He wasn’t even sure himself what the phrase a calamity of souls meant. He set it aside. Several years and novels later, he came back to this unfinished work. In the swirling events of 2020, he picked up the manuscript to finish it and ready th...

Robert T. Luckett Jr. - Evolving Resistance to Black Advancement
A professor at Jackson State University in Mississippi, Robert T. Luckett Jr. discusses his book analyzing the career of Joe T. Patterson, the attorney general of Mississippi from 1956 to 1969.

During his time, the civil rights movement grew in power and form, and pulled the United...
