26 min - Laurie Halse Anderson Highlight - It Is Okay to Fight
For our last Unabridged Highlight episode of season 2, we're discussing the influence of one of our favorite YA authors, Laurie Halse Anderson. After seeing her at the Virginia Festival of the Book and reading her new memoir in verse Shout, we were inspired to consider her place in YA literature. It's the 20th anniversary of her seminal work Speak, and the new edition features some excellent resources and an afterword by Jason Reynolds, another Unabridged favorite. We were also happy to revisit a couple of other favorite novels. Take a listen, and then let us know @unabridgedpod what Laurie Halse Anderson and her work mean to you!

12 min - Bryan Stevenson's JUST MERCY - A Must Read for All Human BeingsIn this #unabridgedbookclub episode, we discuss Bryan Stevenson's nonfiction book Just Mercy. Stevenson discusses his work as an attorney with prisoners on death row and with individuals who were sentenced to life in prison when they were children.During our discussion, we strive to cover the plethora of issues raised by the book, including mass incarceration, the way we deal with mental disabilities and mental illness, the death penalty, and the role of poverty in the criminal justice system. Our conversation, like the book, is wide ranging both in topic and emotion as we reflect on what we gained from Stevenson's book. This truly is, as Sara says in the episode, a book that should be a "must read."timeline*Introduction: 00:00 - 01:42*Just Mercy: 01:43 - 52:19*Book Pairings: 52:30 - 61:10*Classroom Connections: 61:15 - 64:04book pairings*Ashley - Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man*Jen - Ernest Gaines’s A Lesson Before Dying*Sara - Beth Macy’s Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors, and the Drug Company that Addicted Americaother mentions and additional resources*Equal Justice Initiative*"Michael B.
