Sam Sacks writes the weekly fiction column for the Wall Street Journal’s book review, one of the most comprehensively interesting book sections in the media today.
What a nice surprise in my feed this morning! I always appreciate this kind of content because so much of the hype around new fiction turns out to be underwhelming, shallow, or propaganda-ish.
I hope someone with more time and bandwidth than I do can transcribe the books that were mentioned in this podcast. I definitely want to read The Sun Walks Down by Fiona MacFarlane. Australian lit is so intriguing.
