    "Chain Gang All-Stars" is wild, beautiful, scathing, inspiring, disturbing, and disturbingly entertaining. He's definitely "pretty good at this!" Thank you, Seth & Co., for continuing to feature great contemporary authors of literary fiction. 💜❤️💙

    It looks like the interview discussing NK's short story collection is no longer available. Any chance that could get a re-up?

  • @KCMaher
    @KCMaher Před 7 měsíci +5

    Great interview! I strongly suspect that Seth reads novels & Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyal is a real fiction writer, not pushing a “memoir.”

      Just finished the audiobook version, it was very disturbing for me,to think it could be a future in real life. Definitely a good conversation starter.

      No, it's not, you could say there are slight inspirations to Hunger Games and Battle Royale (the Japanese movie), but this book is not the Hunger Games 💯.
