Adam and Jill share some brief thoughts on Toni Morrison who was, truly, one of a kind. Her books, speeches, and commentary gave a voice to African Americans who felt underrepresented all their lives. She gave a voice to many who felt voiceless. There will never be another Toni Morrison.
Adam speaks with Suleika Jaouad, bestselling debut author of Between Two Kingdoms. They discuss her battle with Leukemia, her struggle to find herself in the world when she was pronounced healthy, the isolation of the ongoing pandemic, and writing what she knows to a place she doesn't yet know.
PBN legend Brad Meltzer returns to chat with Adam about his latest book, The Lincoln Conspiracy. They get into how Brad and his family are handling the Stay at Home order, the creative ways they've been entertaining themselves, and a whole bunch of interesting stuff about Abraham Lincoln. There's nothing better than catching up with Brad and the new book is wonderful.
Adam is joined by Ken Follett, #1 New York Times best-selling author of The Evening and the Morning. Ken's books have sold 170+ million copies around the world and created generations of fans of his Kingsbridge series. They discuss his incredibly in-depth research process, his fascination with the dark ages, and much more.
