Listen Later

Nerdette Book Club is back to discuss our November selection, ‘Land of Milk and Honeyby C Pam Zhang! It’s a novel about survival, privilege, and seeking pleasure at the end of the world.


Our readers this month are Aliza Abarbanel, co-founder and co-editor of ‘Cake Zine,’ an independent print publication exploring society through sweets, and co-host of the podcast ‘This is TASTE,’ and Miriam Kramer, news editor at WPLN in Nashville.


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 C Pam Zhang in the feed first.


P.S. We have an exciting announcement in the credits! Listen if you want to get started on your 2024 reading list!
