Kin

Yeah, I actually love to read.

And so one of the recent books I read was Kin by Tayari Jones.

It was a beautifully written book.

It's about two African-American girls who grew up in the South in, I think, the 1950s.

Let's talk about some more books that are out now that are in paperback.

There is This Is the Only Kingdom by Jakira Diaz, about the aftermath of a murder in Puerto Rico.

Future Boy: Back to the Future and My Journey Through Space, the Space-Time Continuum by Mikal J.

Fox.

Yeah, yeah.

And then it, then that's like where you get people who then go read like a book like Kin, and they're like, "Not enough happened in Kin."

Yeah.

And I'm like, "Well, that's because you've been reading [laughs] like slasher, slayer motherfucker, like ah." It's like, yeah, okay, well, I don't know.

It's not, it's Kin.

It's liter- like, it's literary fiction, it's just different.

Yeah.

So my first recommendation, which is not what you asked for, but I'm just gonna give it to you, and I'm gonna, I'm gonna open the door to anything by this author, and it's so obvious, but it's S.A. Cosby.

Mm-hmm.

So the book up for discussion today is by Tayari Jones, and it is called Kin.

Kin,

yes.

So Tayari Jones, she's written several novels.

kind of talking about it.

Yeah, this, too, is selected as an Oprah's Book Club.

So it's called Kin.
