Episodes

Check This Out: Ferdia Lennon & 'Glorious Exploits' 30.11.2024

An unlikely production of Euripides in a prison quarry, set in ancient Greece with a contemporary Irish accent. As funny as it is moving, the novel is an ode to the power of art in a time of war, brotherhood in a time of enmity, and human will throughout the ages.

Check This Out: Elizabeth Gonzalez James & 'The Bullet Swallower' 23.11.2024

Based on (mostly) true events, The Bullet Swallower is a magical realism western about violence and revenge, a story that asks who pays for the sins of our ancestors, and whether it is possible to be better than our forebears.

Check This Out: Sarah Brooks & 'The Cautious Traveler’s Guide to the Wastelands' 16.11.2024

A group of passengers on a grand,and fortress-like train known as the Trans-Siberian Express set out across a magical landscape known as the “Wastelands.” Can they trust each other even as the rules seem to be changing?

Check This Out: Essie Chambers & 'Swift River' 09.11.2024

This debut novel uncovers the story of three generations of Black women, whose lives span the 20th century and reveal a much larger picture of prejudice and abandonment, of love and devotion. A story of friendships, family secrets, and how history shapes us.

Check This Out: Morgan Talty & 'Fire Exit' 02.11.2024

Set around Maine’s Penobscot Reservation, a novel about one man’s family, divided, like the river that separates him from his childhood home. The novel is about belonging, the shifting nature of memory - and bloodlines.
