Nerdette Book Club is off to an excellent start with our first selection of 2024, ‘Jonathan Abernathy You are Kind’ by Molly McGhee! It’s a deeply strange novel that dabbles in dreamscapes while also being a very real critique of capitalism.

Our readers this month are Maya Lau, the host of the personal finance podcast ‘Other Peoples’ Pockets’ and Nick Quah, podcast critic for ‘Vulture.’

We do get into spoilers in the conversation! If you’re not ready to find out what happens yet, listen to our spoiler-free conversation with author Molly McGhee in the feed first.

And in case you want to read ahead, we have the next three months of books chosen! Here they are:

February: Come and Get It by Kiley Reid

March: Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar

April: Beautyland by Marie-Helene Bertino

It’s never too early to send us a voice memo with your thoughts on these books! Reach us at [email protected]
