S1, E24: The Literary Edit Podcast with Femi Kayode

For the twenty-fourth episode of The Literary Edit podcast, I was joined by Namibia-based author, writer and all-round legend, Femi Kayode. You can read his list of Desert Island Books here, and the ones we discuss in the episode are:   A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt A Son of the Circus by John Irving We Need New Names by NoViolet Bulawayo The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead Razorblade Tears by S. A. Crosby Sacred Games by Vikram Chandra The Tradition by Jericho Brown   Other books we spoke about included A Prayer for Owen Meany, The Great Gatsby, Beloved and Harlem Shuffle.   If you’d like to buy any of the books we discussed in the episode, please consider doing so from the list I created on Bookshop.org, an online bookstore with a mission to financially support local, independent bookstores. If you’re based in Australia, please consider buying them from Gertrude & Alice, who deliver all over the country.   Facebook The Literary Edit   Instagram @the_litedit   Twitter @thelitedit @FemiKay_Author
