Sometimes fact really is stranger than fiction. Does that mean that fact is up for grabs when a writer needs a good story? I'm joined by an old fellow manager from the store, my friend Sarah High, to discuss July's bestseller, The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead. This is Sarah's first read by the Pulitzer Prize winner author; did she like it? Can we pinpoint Colson's style? How did he adapt the true story of the horrors of a reform school in Florida into a novel?. Why did he wait nearly 50 pages to get our main character to Nickel Academy? Check it out and see Sarah and I delved in or shelved Colson Whitehead's newest hit, where discuss growing up in the South vs the North, what it feels like to discover a new author and ask ourselves; is the worst of real life worth making into a piece of fiction?
