from Reading Aloud · host Earwolf

New and old friends Alison Becker, Kevin Awakuni, Susanna Fogel, and Kevin Seccia join Nate this week for another spectacular Book Club episode of Reading Aloud! This week they get into "Purity" by Jonathan Franzen. It's his most recent novel and it's dense, it's fun, and ultimately it's a mess. Get into the Halloween spirit and get a head start on the next book club selection by picking up "The Haunting of Hill House" by Shirley Jackson and send in your thoughts on the book at [email protected].
