In Christian Kiefer’s Phantoms, a white American Vietnam vet contends with legacies of racism, violence, and imperialism in a small agricultural town in Placer County, California. Kiefer joins us on this week’s podcast to discuss the incandescent new novel, which Kirkus calls, “certainly anti-war, certainly condemning our country’s dark past ... full of quavering beauty, unbreakable love, and fragile, relentless hope” (starred review). Then our editors join with their weekly book recommendations.
