PODCAST – Episode 132 – Summer Book Preview and NK Jemisin’s The City We Became

Gin Jenny — Wed, 24 Jun 2020 12:00:40 +0000

Whew, it is really summer, isn’t it? And I’m welcoming guest second chair Claire Rousseau to share our Summer 2020 book previews, natter on about our quarantine media, and review NK Jemisin’s latest novel The City We Became. (Spoilers, I loved it, with one reservation that was emotionally big but tiny in the scope of the book.) Claire is a longtime friend, a recent Hugo finalist, and enthusiastic reader of SF, so I feel very lucky to have her on. Unless something goes awry, Whiskey Jenny should be back next time, which will also be lovely! You can listen to the podcast in the embedded player below, or download it directly to take with you on the go!
