A Good Read

Jonathan Safran Foer & Daliso Chaponda


Listen Later

Writer Jonathan Safran Foer and comedian Daliso Chaponda pick their favourite books to discuss with Harriett Gilbert. What does Jonathan make of his first ever fantasy novel, Daliso's choice of Seventh Son by Orson Scott Card? Jonathan (author of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close) nominates The Little Virtues by Natalia Ginzburg as his good read, whereas Harriett goes for Sombrero Fallout by Richard Brautigan, but will either of the guests enjoy this particular brand of absurdity?
