Civil Rights, Slavery and Holy Bees

Written by in Wednesday Words & Music👁 757

Thursday 22 May 2025, 1.47pm

This week we discuss the awesome news that Pulitzer-Prize-nominated author Percival Everett has won the National Book Award for Fiction 2025 for his masterpiece novel James, a dark and brilliant inversion of Mark Twain’s classic book The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. I once again tirade against AI after Audible announce they will offer end-to-end audiobook production purely through AI and we review Sue Monk Kidd’s beautiful 2001 novel, The Secret Life of Bees.
