In this episode of The Stacks Unabridged, we are joined once again by author and friend of the pod, Kiese Laymon, to discuss his first children’s book, City Summer, Country Summer, and the emotional resonance of sports narratives. We also share how we’re staying human in the midst of so much inhumanity.
