For the first episode of Unbound I knew that I had to start off by talking to beauty and culture writer and author of Homebodies, Tembe Denton-Hurst! 

Tune in as we discuss:

• The intimacy of reading 
• Being both a deep reader and a deep writer
• Representation in children’s fiction
• The key elements of space and place within Homebodies
• The promise that New York City holds 

Leaving me to ruminate on books as affirmation and answering the question of do we truly have to like the protagonist in the books we cherish.
