No, You Don’t Need to Read “the Original”: Percival Everett’s JAMES (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At his recent visit to the Twin Cities, Everett joked that he was "so tired of talking about this book." The good news is that the Spoilers aren't. This might be one of our most engaged and lively discussions in a while. We definitely have a LOT to day. So sit back and relax and enjoy the Spoilers at their best talking about a book we all adored.
Episode 54 -- How (Not?) to Be a Revolutionary: Xochitl Gonzalez’s Olga Dies Dreaming (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Spoilers are back discussing another fun book with serious subtext. It got us thinking about a lot of things, including what kind of revolutionaries make the best parent and is it radical to own a lot of apartment buildings? We hope you will be happy to hear our shining voices after a few months off. Be sure to listen past the ending music for the Spoilers reading from the poem the book takes its name from: "Puerto Rican Obituary" by Pedro Pietri. As our loyal listeners know, we LOVE reading
