In this new-to-you episode the spoilers gush over another amazing novel by Colson Whitehead. There’s lots to talk about, and in the end, what seems like it could be a depressing conversation turns out to be a rather uplifting one (Crystal is getting tired, y’all). Don’t miss the Spoilers getting deep into this novel and confusing each other with questions such as, “Who the heck is Jack?” It’s definitely worth it.
