Book Club: ‘The City We Became’
What if cities were embodied in human beings? If The Bronx were a human, what would she be like? And why is xenophobia so toxic?
Listen along as Nerdette host Greta Johnsen discusses 'The City We Became,' the new novel from Hugo-award-winning author N.K. Jemisin, along with WBEZ host Jenn White and Michi Trota, editor for the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.
And then get ready for next month’s Book Club pick: The Vanishing Half, a new novel by Brit Bennett.
