THI BUI’S The Best We Could Do (Quarantined Comics)


Listen Later

You may have heard Raman mention his super-secret, super-NERDY, third podcast “Quarantined Comics” with his reporter pal (and past MM guest) Ryan Joe. SHARON was recently a guest, where we talked about THI BUI’s “The Best We Could Do” - an illustrated memoir of the author’s family's history and exodus from Vietnam to America. Bui’s FIRST book (which you don’t need to - but should - read) covers love, war, and the refugee's journey — with an intimate focus on one family: her own

 

As you can imagine, our discussion got pretty deep, and pretty real about all of OUR family's immigrant histories, - so much so, that it started to feel like a Modern Minorities episode! So we decided we’d share this one as a bonus episode. And if you want to nerd out more one on some of the best (not just superhero) comics out there, check out Quarantined Comics to see what else Raman is working on :)
