In this episode, we start with a rave review of James by Percival Everett. This novel, a brilliant reimagining of Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from Jim's perspective, absolutely blew me away. It’s a five-star read in my book, and I believe more people should pick it up.
We then briefly touch on the movie American Fiction, which is based on Everett's 2001 novel Erasure. The film adaptation dives into the complexities of race and identity, much like the novel, and is worth checking out.
Lastly, I react to a thought-provoking clip from a speaker who argues that men today are better providers than ever before. I dive into how the skyrocketing cost of living has made it harder for people to provide for their families, acknowledging that it’s a tough road—one that’s harder today than it was in the past.
Tune in for this mix of book talk, movie insights, and an honest discussion about the challenges of modern life!
