Next Episode: Concoctions and Vagaries in "The Case For and Against Love Potions" by Imbolo Mbue (with Colored Pages Book Club)

Zadie Smith’s debut novel, one she wrote at the tender age of 19, is full of irony, witty sayings, and wild rollercoaster storylines. It is the epitome of social and personal chaos spanning several generations, families and cultures. In this episode, we discuss immigrant psychology, radicalization (left or right), genetic manipulation (?) and the tides of history.
