Two notable literary novelists, Roxana Robinson ("Sparta", "Dawson's Fall") and Dawn Tripp ("Georgia", "Game of Secrets") join regular hosts Marc Eliot Stein and Greta Zarro for a unique discussion of the ways both fiction writers and antiwar activists try to use words to connect with strangers on urgent and heartfelt topics. We discuss USA in 2019, modern tribalism, the Quaker community, the legacy of slavery, gender and intersectionality and much more.
