This was a fascinating interview enthusiastically discussed. P.S. Absolutely thrilled there is another book coming out - I hope there is an accompanying PBS tv series that follows!

Lisa Ko is a racist

It's come to my understanding that Lisa Ko actively participated in getting a Jewish author banned for being Jewish, or "Zionist" the generic euphemism. A woman who harms other women, this one a Jewish feminist author, is the worst kind. I don't enjoy making these posts, but this can't be tolerated in a democratic country where we all have a fundamental right to live.

Marvelous interview! Anthony Horowitz is always a joy is watch and listen to - his excitement about what he does and how he entertains us is joyful. Long may he write! 🙂

This book broke me. I was in 6th grade when I read it for the first time in, like, two weeks. I cried my eyes out at the end. ( I was 12, by the way.) But I remember being mostly cool with the romance, and then the beach scene arrives and I'm like: "Aren't they, like, 10 ? Why is Marina in underpants ? And why is Oscár staring at her ?" I used to be so uneasy reading that. After re-reading it recently, I realized that they were actually 15. Makes sense.

terrific interview, without being self-consciously so. read 'How to Write about Africa" just before this, by a gay, acerbic, brilliant Kenyan. somehow a good segue.

Such an amazing book. The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn is an amazing book. James adds so much to those stories that it elevates Twain's works well beyond their prior status. I am certain Twain would be thrilled with Everett 's spin on this.

“James” was medicine for me. I was terrorized by Huck Finn as it was read to me as a small child with no context. I was left feeling dehumanized and embarrassed. I felt Jim’s transformation to James while reading this incredible book. It helped me transform something in my childhood mind. Because of his pure intent as writer he has come up with something so powerful, I wouldn’t be surprised if this novel didn’t scare the nonsense out of some folks! Thank U, PE!! 🙏🏾🔥♥️ And thank you for profiling this novel and this artist❤

Absolutely ❤ 'ed the thoughtful questions posed to Mr Everett during the interview. I especially enjoyed hearing he still loves and has the connection to physical books as I do. For me, stemming from my childhood, the physical book is a welcomed entry into the authors world as the wardrobe was the children in the Narnia series. I was hoping you would've asked Mr. Everett about Steven Spielberg's interest in making James into a featured film. My 1st readers club experience i dont think it'll be my last.
