Gaby and Adam sit down to introduce Ta-Nehisi Coates’s latest book Between the World and Me. We begin by talking about the experience of learning about racial relations in America in general. They establish early on that we should never hesitate to dive into literature that is seen as highly controversial. Reading is about learning, and that is something we can never shy away from.
For next week’s episode, Gaby and Adam will begin discussing up to page 71. Adam’s advice for reading Between the World and Me is to read as much as you can in one sitting. Starting from the first page and going as far as you can will preserve the perspective Ta-Nehisi gives the reader early on in the book. Coming back to this book every once in a while may make the overall message hard to understand without the perspective of the author from beginning to end. Enjoy this weeks episode!
