It’s The Stacks Book Club day and we’re discussing our first ever graphic memoir on the show. The book is The Best We Could Do by Thi Bui, and our guest is graphic memoirist (Good Talk), novelist (The Sleepwalker’s Guide to Dancing), and cultural critic, Mira Jacob. We talk today about the moment that a good book makes the reader examine themselves, books that don’t feel like reading, and the distillation of history for the sake of narrative.There are no spoilers on this episode.Be sure to listen until the end of the podcast to find out The Stacks Book Club pick for August!You can find links to everything we discuss on today's show on The Stacks' Website: https://thestackspodcast.com/2021/07/28/ep-174-the-best-we-could-doSUPPORT THE STACKSJoin The Stacks Pack on PatreonPlum Deluxe Tea - to get 10% off your tea order go to plumdeluxe.com and use the code THESTACKS at checkout. Purchasing books through Bookshop.org or Amazon earns The Stacks a small commission.Connect with Mira: Twitter | Instagram | WebsiteConnect with The Stacks: Instagram | Twitter | Website | Patreon | Shop | Goodreads See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
