Description:

This week we are joined by author Katie Kitamura to read and discuss her new book 'A Separation.'

'A Separation' is one woman's inner thoughts as she travels to Greece to try to uncover the mystery of her separated and soon-to-be divorced from husband who goes missing on a research trip.

And as always, we close the show with recommendations.
  • Katie recommends 'The Mountain', an upcoming short story collection by Paul Yoon. "[The stories] kind of migrate, there's a path of migration but both through time and through space. They are really beautifully observed."
  • MJ recommends 'Evicted' by Matthew Desmond. "It is this incredible investigation into poverty and the practice of eviction in America and how eviction really is a destabilizing force in America that not only destabilizes families but also whole communities."
  • Aliza recommends 'Feud,' Ryan Murphy's current show on FX. It's about the creation of the movie What Ever Happened to Baby Jane.' I LOVE it. As a series, it is so well done; as social commentary, it is so well done, the actors in it are amazing."
  • Peter recommends the new Comedy Central show 'Detroiters.' "It is freaking hilarious." He also recommends the FX show Legion "It is exceptionally interesting television. Even when the story makes no sense, it is still mesmerizing to watch."
  • And we have a bonus recommendation: this video of a girl professing her love to a broken water boiler, which she thinks is a friendly robot. MJ says, "My emotions were not prepared for this video. It is adorable!"
