  • Jemimah Wei is the GMA Book Club Pick!

    Jemimah Wei is the GMA Book Club Pick!
    2025/05/08
    Jemimah Wei’s The Original Daughter is the GMA book club pick for May, and we loved it. In some ways, this book is not just a compelling family drama, but it is also a thoughtful depiction of Singapore, a country often misunderstood by Americans as being simply a home for glamour and high tech discovery. This novel centers around the lives of everyday Singaporeans, and how one family is torn apart when a new daughter is introduced to the home by way of a grandfather’s polygamy. Why did this book take Jemimah ten years to write and how does this story put a new twist on the clichés of sibling rivalry? We ask her, so tune in and find out.

    We Get a Little Deeper with David K. Shipler
    2025/05/01
    We loved talking to David K. Shipler so much that we wanted to squeeze one more show out of our conversation. We talked so much on our last episode about the role of interpreters in journalism, but we also talked about going from fiction to nonfiction and the importance of good journalism, now more than ever. We hope you enjoy as much as we did.

  • David K. Shipler Interprets Interpreters

    David K. Shipler Interprets Interpreters
    2025/04/24
    The Interpreter is a beautiful book about the end of the war in Vietnam and one interpreter’s story as his country is torn apart and remade over and over throughout his lifetime. David K. Shipler is arguably one of the greatest journalists of our time. A veteran reporter who wrote about Russia, Vietnam, and Israel (to name a few), he has a Pulitzer to his name and his non-fiction books are legendary. I mean, the man ran a foreign desk for the New York Times and taught at Princeton. So why write a book of fiction? We don’t know, but we are so glad he did. Tune in to find out why. Our bookstore is Charlie’s local, so you don’t want to miss it.

    Colum McCann And his Twist on Great Literature
    2025/03/27
    Colum McCann’s newest, Twist, explores how the world of underwater fiber cables has vital physical and metaphoric meaning in our day to day lives. Sound dull? We promise you, it’s a literary marvel and a page turner to boot. The men and women who live to make, repair and find these cables are fascinating characters. And Twist is a beautiful novel all about how we can tear ourselves apart as we obsess about reparation and healing. Is instant communication making us one community or ruining our sense of belonging? Are we making the earth better or burning it slowly to the ground? Tune in this week to find out.
