Ep. 333 Writing a COVID Novel with Regina Porter

Update: 2024-08-21

Description

Today we’re joined by author Regina Porter to discuss her new book, The Rich People Have Gone Away. She explains what made her hesitant to write a COVID novel and why she eventually changed her mind. She shares the role of humor in her work, and what made exploring the trope of missing white women exciting to her.

The Stacks Book Club pick for August is Master Slave Husband Wife by Ilyon Woo. We will discuss the book on August 28th with Jay Ellis.

You can find everything we discuss on today's show on The Stacks' website:
